The Regaining Democracy Dictionary

in #humor6 years ago

I finished my book "Solutions: "Enough complaining, let's fix America." and below is a portion of what I've included as an extra in my book. It is a dictionary that I am create to define some of the craziness we see in the world today.

RAD Dictionary
ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) noun

CLIMATE CHANGE noun

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENTS noun

  1. Republican Party doctrine which states that there is no need to help the needy. It requires that services meant to individuals (the poor, elderly, disabled) not be provided: Whether seeking funds to attain a degree higher than primary education or loans to start a business or simply funds to avoid becoming homeless, THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENTS forbids any such attempts.
  2. A Christian philosophy according to republican leaders like Paul Ryan, a self-admitted follower of atheist author Ayn Rand who now denies his praise for her.

Immoral Legality noun

Inequanomics noun

  1. The misguided belief that a few rich people can match the spending power of 100s of millions of consumers. An example would be a comparison between the daily spending of the 400 richest people in America and the 150 million people this elite group's wealth equals: For every meal, tank of gas, car, home, clothing purchase, there is no way in which these 400 individuals could ever spend as much as 150 million people. Even if each of these 400 wealthy people bought the most expensive of any of the items mentioned above and supported families consisting of 100 members each, their spending would still only amount to 40,000 (thousand) people versus that of 150,000,000 (150 million) people.

Liberty Slave noun

  1. An individual incarcerated and made to do free labor in a country where Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Happiness are usurped by laws written "By, For and Of the Private Prison Corporations."
