Taking Over America

ARISTOTLE SAID: "Poverty is the cause of the defects of democracy. That is the reason why measures should be taken to ensure a permanent level of prosperity. This is in the interest of all the classes, including the prosperous themselves; and therefore the proper policy is to accumulate any surplus revenue in a fund, and then to distribute this fund in block grants to the poor. The ideal method distribution, if a sufficient fund can be accumulated, as to make such grants sufficient for the purchase of a plot of land: failing that they be large enough to start men in commerce or agriculture." (Aristotle:"Politics" book 6 chapter 5). Aristotle, the father of politics, was saying that in any society with great economic inequality, the wealthy minority will tyrannize the poop majority, and the poor will eventually unite, rise up, and destroy the wealthy, taking their wealth. In order to maintain a democracy, a nation must have widespread, general economic equality among its citizens. The American founding fathers knew this. They, and Aristotle came to different conclusions and solutions. Aristotle wanted to redistribute wealth to create economic equality, and the American founding fathers decided to accept economic inequality, and to avoid creating a democracy. that's why they created a 'republic", more specifically, a plutocracy, a representative democracy, a democratic republic, in which the wealthy and all the political power, and were to be trusted to represent the best interests of the poor. Madison and the rest of America's "founders', the inventors of our system of government, actually trusted the wealthy elite to behave nobly, in the best interests of all Americans, not merely themselves. The constitution went into effect in 1787, with within five years James Madison knew that he had made a great mistake, and wished that he had never written the kind of constitution that he did. For by then it had become rapidly obvious that the wealthy class in America had no interest other than itself, had no intention of taking proper care of the vast majority of poor Americans, and would only use their power to enrich themselves and increase and maintain their power. And so it was then, so it has always been, and so it remains today; a government, legal, and political system created of the wealthy, by the wealthy, and for the wealthy, with the sole purpose of protecting, maintaining, and increasing the power and the wealthy of the wealthy powerful. Hence, welcome to the United State of corporate America. In order to bring about a true democracy, corporate power would have to be broken, and taxes greatly increased on the wealthy, and worker's wages much increased. If you want to change our system, to replace this system with a true democracy by redistributing wealth and power equally among all the people, you are probably on the extreme left of the Democratic party, and are called an extremist, marginalized. You are Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the Attractive, the bane of conservative Republicans, who want to keep the plutocracy we have today, rule by the wealthy and have always have. In america today, the poor greatly outnumber the wealthy, partly because they always have and because it it always that way, but also because for many years in America, about 40, the rich were getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer, and the middle class is shrinking. this is the way conservative republicans want it. The Democrats want to build a huge, all inclusive middle class, with nobody too rich or too poor, and everybody having equal poor, as well as wealth. the amazing is the huge number of poor people who support the rule of the wealthy. The wealthy, who control the means of communication, the media, have brainwashed the poor into supporting the wealthy. Now would be a great time for the poor masses of America to awaken, to organize and create a democratic socialist labor party, and take over the country. Amazing how easy it could be.
