Well stated and very interesting point Werewolf. And something I overlooked, actually I agree completly.
Part of the problem I agree is that people with no intrest of the country are now allowed to make decision's. In fact, that could care less if the country goes belly up and will expect someone to bail them out like someone has all their live's. So long as the goverment take's care of them like a lil baby, they could care less if the people in power are capitalist's (esspecialy don't care for that because they have no intention of earning something where a capitalist socity really help's them), comunist, socialist, faciest, or any other ist that could come to your mind.
Course. You can't revert to that system. Cause then oh my god you'd be denying minority's their right to vote. Because of course, minority's are the only one's that find themselve's in impoverished situation's. Maybe not have to be a land owner. But perhap's something to insure you have at least a basic understanding of politic's other then one guy is a Democrat so he must be for taking care of me and the other is an evil republican.
