There are times when it takes forever for the present to arrive

How much more abuse can the citizens of the global democracies withstand? Unemployment at record levels, falling wages, more living in poverty and needing government assistance for the basics such as food as the wealthy elite thrive and see their net worth at record levels. Post modern democracy has a death rattle deep in its lungs, one that cannot be cured for the damage is done.

Politicians of all parties tell how if you vote for them and get rid of the other party, they will fix everything. We all know they lie. They seek to enrich themselves at the expense of taxpayers and act on the behest of their special interest groups, their campaign donors.

One day this charade will end.

 "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt
