   i for one am not against anyone making a buck- however we live in a   
   democracy, and so there is a thing called rights.   
   supposedly the only way to take them from us, is if we vote against our   
   own self interests.   
   However, lately political parties have done end-runs on that, declaring   
   that we "gave them a mandate" to run not how they promised, but   
   according to their OWN self-interests.   
   This gap in credibility allows for political parties to draft bills   
   which every year further erodes our democratic rights to the point which   
   we become de facto citizens of communist government policies, which are   
   nonetheless driven by multi-national corporations possessing the gdp of   
   many nations combined.   
      
      
   --   
   To the States or any one of them, or any city of the States,   
   Resist much, obey little,   
   Once unquestioning obedience, once fully enslaved,   
   Once fully enslaved, no nation, state, city of this earth,   
   ever after-ward resumes its liberty.
