Our Democracy Works

What is the alternative to Democracy… 

          We in Georgia find the notion of Democracy at times undesirable as it means that the majority rules, to some the unwashed many.  So as we are a republic, we create laws so the majority does not disenfranchise the minority.
           Now let’s take a look at these first years of our new century; We started out with , for the first time in decades a surplus in the budget left after all the bills of our nation were paid.. The cry went up let’s pay down the National Debt of course that did not happen. The Tax code was reordered and the surplus would be used to return money to some of our corporations. Then we became involved in Two wars probably of our own making. We were attacked sure but to open the door for a pipe line across Asia We were attacked through that door…
            In all previous Wars our nation has fought, a new tax was levied to pay for the expenditure of moneys for the materials of war (planes, bombs, tanks and so on) So now we are using the nations credit card for the most expensive war of all time not because so much it’s the longest one in our nations History, but one cruse missile cost almost as much as a world war two cruiser we have used several thousand, All other costs have increased geometrically…
             The business of any government is the people of the governed Nation and as the cost of war superseded the national income due to detaxing the better off to fall in line with the failed notion of trickle down. Less and less money has been spent on the business of this nation.
Our Middle class has dwindled as corporations move operations off shore to increase profit margins. As the middle class diminishes the income to the nation decreases the upper income groups see that the only money left is in their pockets and they say “let them eat cake”    Wake up people we are all in this boat together and it is not allowed to throw any one over board…..
                 I believe that our people most of us are Good the proof is that we as a nation have survived and we will rise above all of these short sited moves….

Our Vision of the future

Our vision of the future

      My vision of the future of our Country was one where all men are created equal and because we do not have a class of nobility born into that position even the poorest of us can rise to a place of importance due to our own endeavors.
      That said our world has changed where the goods and food was produced by men, large numbers of Men and Women from the fields to the factories. Machines have replaced them. In a sane World the people could maintain the machines keeping their Jobs as though the automation were tools of the people not replacements for them. But as is the nature of Man kind greed comes into play why keep people as part of the equation when they are really not needed except occasionally to retool or repair. Great piles of money are to be made. The owners of these great endeavors (corporations may they be factories or farms) have forgotten two great truths,,, markets for their stuff and you can’t down size a nation.
        So what do we do as a people to survive not just the owners but all people… With out turning on our selves which is what we are doing as a species.
         Give me some feed back folks Ideas are what we need
