Democracy Is Dead

I recently learned that to have any hope of getting elected, a candidate for the Presidency of the US has to spend FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on his campaign. What this means to the voting public is that each and every candidate has been bought and paid for and owes total fidelity to the fat cats who back him.

If the 10% rule applies in Canadian politics as it does in most things, Stephen Harper must have spent FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS to get elected last time and will have to spend that much again to get re-elected. NO WONDER HE CONSISTANTLY LEGISLATES IN FAVOUR OF HIS MASTERS.
