Your country is NOT a democracy IF:
-Your elected leaders are given hours to review a 1,500 page spending bill put together by only four elected leaders
-Free speech is not allowed
-There is no easy way for citizens to verify an election was fair (no dead people or noncitizens voting, each citizen with one vote)

I found this post and here was my thoughts:
Fantastic article, but as a monogamous married father of 4, I think the author misses the fundamental point of all relationships… And the point of life itself: Reproduction.

Congress tried to sneak itself a 40% pay raise, a new multi billion dollar stadium in Washington DC, and lots of corrupt pork with a corrupt 1500 page continuing spending bill released with only a day or so for representatives to read it before Christmas.

According to many reports, this CEO deserved to die for running an insurance company that denied care too often to its customers.

Entrepreneurs and founders are leaving Norway and Germany in droves thanks to a terrible unrealized gains tax. Unrealized gains taxes are insane… Example: if they say your house has increased in value, even though you did not sell it, you would receive a tax bill. But you would not have any cash to pay it because you didn’t actually sell anything!… read more “Unrealized gains taxes in Germany and Norway”
I am pretty well off now, as I founded and built a business with 250 full time employees. I have solid health insurance.
But even I can’t get good healthcare. My wife and I were very sick last night with the stomach flu, as were two of our children. We are in our RV currently in Palm Springs, California.… read more “Even the wealthy can’t get healthcare in America”
