RE: Lee Camp: Are people allowed to live?

in #news7 years ago

Note that the US is not a democracy...so need to stop thinking that way...

It is a republic and works different than a true democracy...

A true democracy really only works well in small groups and with an environment that people can leave and go somewhere else if it isn't working as they desire...

If the federal government makes everything equal for all citizens then eventually people that oppose those same things will have to go somewhere else to live...

Citizens can't sit back and expect others to work hard so they can have free stuff without having to work for it....

Democracy can only work if there are obligations and expectations for everyone to do their part for the betterment of the group...

Not betterment of the individual...think about that for a moment....

It is easy to sit back and vote for more free stuff....not so easy when you have to vote to give something away...

Note that I have put “greatest democracy that ever have been” under the quotation marks. You are right, of course, and I know that. It's the MSM propaganda that is trumpeting about “democracy”, and I don't have enough time to explain it in every post. Besides, whole point of Lee Camp’s “Redacted Tonight” is exposing a ploy between MS corporative media, financial oligarchy and crooked politicians that have long ago forgotten any idea of democracy.

Thank you very much for your support and for good thinking @josephmoyers
