re·pub·lic
noun /riˈpəblik/ 
republics, plural
A state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch
Considering presidential campains are exected to hit 1 billion dollar budgets this year thanks to the 'superpack' rule, with most of this money coming from corporations which are not people, rather entities of profit devouring greed, how can we continue to live with this lie that this is a republic??
ol·i·gar·chy
noun /ˈäliˌgärkē/  /ˈōli-/ 
oligarchies, plural
A small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution
- the ruling oligarchy of military men around the president
Wouldnt this be a better, more accurate term to refer to our government??
so·cial·ism
noun /ˈsōSHəˌlizəm/ 
A political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole
Is not our means of production, distribution, and exchange totally regulated by the 'community'??? Most business owners will agree with me that this is far far away from a free market.
cro·ny·ism
noun /ˈkrōnēˌizəm/ 
The appointment of friends and associates to positions of authority, without proper regard to their qualifications
Is this not a brief description of how our government works once these lap dogs get elected??? Left, right, it doesnt matter. Is this not the Norm??
cor·rup·tion
noun /kəˈrəpSHən/ 
corruptions, plural
Dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery
The process by which something, typically a word or expression, is changed from its original use or meaning to one that is regarded as erroneous or debased
These two definitions of corruption go hand in hand. Most acts of dishonesty and fruad are being sold to us by corrupting words and expressions in media propaganda.
Given all of this, why wouldnt everyone welcome change???
sta·tus quo
noun /ˈstātəs ˈkwō/  /ˈstatəs/ 
The existing state of affairs, esp. regarding social or political issues
I think this is the reason. People that are doing well are fighting very hard to keep things exactly the way they are. Thats why nomatter who you elect nothing ever changes.
rev·o·lu·tion
noun /ˌrevəˈlo͞oSHən/ 
revolutions, plural
A dramatic and wide-reaching change in the way something works or is organized or in people's ideas about it
This is your revolution.
