David Axelrod outright told us that we have no representative gov't anymore

This is from yesterday:



HELLO? If we have to compete w/ minority lobbyists to have OUR gov't represent the MAJORITY of us, then our gov't isn't doing its job!

It's no longer a Democracy, Democratic Republic, any type of Representative gov't when the majority must compete w/ minority moneyed elites for representation -- and the minority always wins/rules - no matter what. Even when people are needlessly and brutally slaughtered by criminals and over 90% of the people want something done about it - gov't does nothing in servitude to big corporations and their lobbyists who care about nothing but PROFIT.

That is NOT any type of representative Democracy and David Axelrod as much as TOLD us so with that comment yesterday. It's "inverted totalitarianism" as defined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_totalitarianism -- and it's as IMMORAL as the death, poverty, and psychopathic destruction it causes in the name of greed.
