238: Democracy Is A Sham

 Democracy in the USA is a broken down shambles.  We are now governed by "elected" officials and bureaucrats who live by different rules than they impose on the rest of us.  Government thinks it is entitled to an ever increasing share of our productivity and our wealth in order to support those who rule us.  Ignorant voters think that what liberty they have left comes from government.  Media guarantees the continued ignorance of the voters by feeding them a non-stop stream of propaganda, so that these ignorant votes will cede more and more of their liberty to the ruling class.  The ruling class creates nothing and produces nothing, save for the trappings of their own offices.
