Our Illusions

We may say we have a democracy, but the truth is that our elected officials aren't concerned about their constituencies but with the corporations that bring them to power. Regarding voting, approximately 50% of eligible voters actually do, and 50% don't care. We have a Corporatocracy that runs our government, not a Democracy. Lobbyists make sure the U.S. Congress and even the President allocate the largest Defence Budget in the World for our Military Industrial Corporations, without which their political careers aren't assured. MUSIC Christina Aguilera, Charlotte Lawrence, Jurnee Smolette-Bell, Ben Lucas Boyson & Paul Emmerich
