Democracy is great because you have CHOICE. Americans CHOSE not to change. They continued to elect the same political establishment over and over again over the last decades. And if I'm not mistaken up until the 2000 presidental election, the % of voters for each presedential election was always under 50%.
Democracy and your duty as citizen are not god given rights. You don't exert them in full, you have yourself and people like you to blame, besides the usual politicians as to why a country goes the way it does. |
One small point here if I may....I'm not a US citizen!!
We have our own financial problems here in the UK to contend with.
I certainly don't see your country as a paragon of financial security either....and that is going back as far as the last world war and before.
As a father I also reserve the right to feel concerned about the financial and economic wellbeing of my offspring in the future.
What is happening throughout the world will undoubtadly have consequences for the future.
