Each American has one vote, but the wealthiest 10 percent of people here control 70 percent of the nation’s wealth. In practice, this means that they also have a lock on political power, using their billions to buy the loyalty of politicians

A society characterized by stark economic inequality can’t ever be truly democratic. Democracy is impossible so long as the vast majority has no real choice in their lives but to spend 40 hours or more each week working to make ends meet--while a minority devotes their time to making decisions about what to produce and how to administer social life.

what "guys" jackass? The Democrats lost and they will lose and I never voted Democrat in my life. The real losers are people (like yourself) who let the business class run roughshod over you, take away your rights, co-opt every issue (Repuglicunts too) and then you are pruod, you are a grouse, a donkey and a complete sucker - politically... learn.

Of course democracy exists. What's your solution, eh? Redistributing the wealth so there isn't a wealthy minority? Yeah, that's communism.

You just scratched the surface!
Read www.earthrights.net/docs/oilrent that oilrent on the end.
A system like this can be done for every state and the FEDS should do 50 times better with all their resources!
