spending on wars and wasteful laws and structure, devote it
back into the economic system and peoples community, including education,
and stop the flow of illegal immigration.
If we cut the flow of people without education and
help educate the people we have they make more money
and so naturally rising costs don't affect them as much. |
I noticed you slipped "illegal immigrants" in there. It is relevant, sure. But another thing killing democracy is this "Hire a wetback; go to jail!" mentality. Predictably, you ignore how the global economy has caused the problems in Mexico, AKA the flood of wicked "illegals."
Noam Chomsky addressed this issue very well:
YouTube - Discussion on Globalization
If we keep reaching out and finger-pointing (especially at some of the biggest victims of our corporate economy), that's not particularly democratic. It's also not democratic to round people up and deport them. In fact, that's the opposite of democracy. So commonly people regard "democracy" as a free license for coercion and systematic inequality, but that's NOT real democracy.
