Why none of us live under Democracy nowadays

Why none of us live under Democracy nowadays.

You may think, “this is another anarchy or fascist who doesn’t know what he’s talking about”. Well, forget about that.

Democracy means ‘The government of the people’ but I’m going to explain to you why the people don’t take decisions anymore.

When big corporations first appeared they tried to persuade employees to vote what they though convenient for the company. After a short time thinking they realized that was easier to have their people in the government sphere.

So here we have the people choosing sort of persons to represent them but what they represent are the companies they work for. These people started having more power every day. They first started in the little villages, then the cities, after a while the counties, the states and finally the country. Is this really final straw? Don’t think so. Big corporations went around the world exporting the ‘American way of business’. Companies in other countries (especially Asia, Europe and South America) did as the American companies did principally because it was a tremendous idea: take government decisions for their own profit. See how oil companies influenced us and now we can’t pay the gas for the cars; see how they can change the price of the groceries; see how building companies know before everybody else where a building can be built so they can increase the price of the soil we are going to pay.

Let me ask you something. What happens when the companies are in power? What happens is that they forget about the people (actually they never cared about anybody but them).
So here me have companies spoiling the current citizen. In addition here we have the companies spoiling their own employees. And what a normal citizen can do? Not too much. Even in you change the government and elect a new President as Barack Obama, the bottom status are going to keep being equal.

With the modern crisis that we are living world wide nowadays we found out that ours banks and ours companies are bankrupt, even when they take political decisions. For that reason The White House is helping them with the money of the Americans (in my country with the money of the Europeans), hum, wait a minute, the money of the Americans? America spent all his savings in the two wars that are taking place at this moment. So where is the money comes from? The money comes from our good friends the Saudis. Well, thank you very much but why are the Saudis helping American and Europe? The answer is pretty easy they are buying western companies and controlling ours lives.
What we the people should do? Do we need to trust our politicians (G8 and G20 plus EU) when they meet each other in Washington to refund the capitalism?

Let’s see what we have from now so far: Companies in the government, companies bankrupt, Saudis taking ours companies. Well the math operation is easy: Saudis in our government. I don’t think this is the worst, I don’t think that Saudis spoiling us is the worst; the worst is that we the people are letting them do what they want; the worst is that our government is letting do what they want; the worst is that meanwhile the government and our companies are spoiling us.
For example here we have a normal western without money, paying a house, earning less than a nickel a month and if he or she doesn’t keep working his or her family won’t have anything to eat. Can this family think about that in that situation? That’s the reason we need politicians but we can’t trust them anymore. What happens if they car sort of medical problem? Thanks to the insurance companies that bought the vote in the Senate this family will go bankrupt and won’t have the change to be worried about what is going on.

One of the ways the people can take action is through Internet but ‘cultural companies’ cut our Internet and closed ours piers.

If you came here seeking for answers I’m sorry because is ought to you to do what you think is good for your community. What I think? I think that we don’t live in a democracy anymore. For me the only step to do is not just refund the capitalism but refund the western civilization and ours countries. How? Taking action but after a while we will find ourselves again in the same situation where we are today.
