DICTATORSHIP OF THE RICH

How do we get money out of politics? Simply pass a law that allows the largest donation to any one candidate by any individual to be limited to $3.00 and only donations to candidates are possible. In addition, salaries for those serving as government representatives could never be above average income of workers. Donations to Political Parties or issues would be unlawful, only donations to candidates. The question of corporations being people would be nonsense. How do you pass such a law, you can’t; it would be impossible because of all the money in politics. It has gotten to be a dog chasing its tail argument. The rich have created a never-ending downward spiral for our country.

Our founding fathers created a great experiment in government. Their experiment of one-man one-vote is in the last phases of its demise. Those five words, “all men are created equally,” are hogwash. They didn’t have to be turned into nonsense but they were. Perhaps, the authors of the constitution could have been clever and put the equivalent of a $3.00 limit in the that document but there were greedy people then who would have prevented it then,  just as there those who would prevent us from correcting the error. I cannot see a door out of our dizzying spiral we have created for ourselves. Perhaps you are of good spirit and think otherwise; however, I would remind you the election is in a few days and  most polls indicated the rich have convinced us, the poor people, to vote into office “our” representatives those who want to create a dictatorship of the rich; a plutocracy. That is what the phrase, the best congress money can buy, means. We all know that is what has been happening and it is almost completed. The Supreme Court has fallen. The House of Representatives has fallen. Now the Senate is about to fall. David Koch was vice presidential candidate in 1961 but lost by a wide margin so he did the next best thing. He and his brother are buying the entire government.
