America at the national level never was, never has been and never will be a direct democracy. Even propositions are often overturned by judges. America is a republic in that people vote for electors to represent their wants and needs, who then in turn represent and serve the elite, which is actually how things should… Continue reading Anti-Democracy

Thanks to the liberal media talking points and an ignorance of modern economics, many people assume a fast growing GDP and robust job creation are the necessary conditions of a strong economy, but this isn’t necessarily… Continue reading The indefatigability of the ‘unparticipatory’ economic boom
