Oligarchy:
: a country, business, etc., that is controlled by a small group of people
: the people that control a country, business, etc.
: government or control by a small group of peopleI can't think of a better description of the United States at this time. The President ignores the laws, Congress ignores the will of the people, and the Supreme Court rubber stamps whatever fits the agenda of tyranny. We were once a Constitutional Republic.
What I find most disturbing is that people seem to care only about their narrow agenda and don't give a fig for our country as a whole. Nobody seems to understand that America as we knew it is falling apart. As long as each group gets what it wants, to hell with the rest of the country.

DeleteAs soon as I found out that Rick Scott, the governor of Florida, resigned from the HCA to avoid fraud charges, and sold his share to Mitt Romney for 1.2 BILLION dollars, I gave up on life ever getting any better. There's more money laundering in Congress than the mafia ever dreamed of.
ReplyDeleteYes there is, but much of it is being exposed, when it was too easily hid in the past. That's a good thing.
DeleteNow, if we can only figure out a way to tar and feather enough of 'em to convince the others to straighten up; and not end up trying to convince some judge it was all for a good cause.
