Now that I think about it All People are created equally intrinsically. Intellect, capability, race, and gender doesn’t matter. Democracy is all about an equal vote. One person one vote. And that is what democracy is all about.
How much discretionary income is available to an individual voter is moot.
But here is were capitalism has turned the scales. The attitude in pricing is the highest the market will bear, and is tied to the notion of available discretionary income. PAC’s are a great example. The tactics they implore have nothing to do with the truth and every thing to do with taking statements out of context and spinning reality, and both parties are quite adept at spinning what “IS” taking place, and attitudes surrounding the circumstances.
Is that a democracy where all capable citizens vote is equal? One might argue inequality in capacity is not equally created. And I agree, we are not all created equitably within circumstance beyond our individual control, we are created equally in our capacity to be involved in the democratic process. One person, one vote, regardless of access to discretionary income.
A greater union, accomplishing this would recognize it. A lesser union ignores it and claims itself greater regardless.
PAC’s messages aren’t truthful, the messages and opions are the fake news Trump will be remembered for. Coming from both parties affiliated streams of influence. Which tips the scales that all votes are not equal and neither are those casting the votes. The media and it’s sponsors have become the main stream contributors of a faked assessment of the reality of every individual occupying the planet.
Corruption rules and ruins a democracy, where equal is not an equality. God doesn’t matter, man’s assessment of his brothers and sisters does. The result of a greater union is the goal, Not which party can spin the rosiest picture on a dismal circumstance.
There is a lot of money being lost in America and a lot of money being made. The majoring of the population is comming out on the short end of the stick and those capitalizing on a pretty shitty circumstance are profiting greatly. That is what has held the market from collapse, there are still a lot of people making a lot of money and they are just scoping up the money others are losing.
