"The very concept of Capitalism and Democracy has disappeared" This is our reality today. You rob the public by deceit and you use the gains to enrich the rich. That's by enlarge our economy today. This is not capitalism. This is fascism.

Heres another way that we have been deceived.

I for one have been protesting against the meat, dairy and process food industries, corporate hospitals, and the pharmaceutical industries. I have successfully taken monies from these industries on a continual basis. And I am winning! How? I only eat plant-based foods. I have lowered my cholesterol and blood sugar levels and my weight. This lifestyle will also lower greatly my chance of dying from cancer. I'm spending less money on doctor bills and my health has improved so much that I have dropped all my expensive medications. Man I feel GREAT!

These industries are using us like cash cows. They brainwash us to eat more and more to increase their profits. Eventually we become fat and sick and shell out more cash to the doctors and hospitals. Your doctor will prescribe medication that will mask your symptoms but will destroy your liver. That is a sick way to live your life.

WAKE UP PEOPLE. Keep more of your money and increase your health. If everyone eats plant based foods we will bankrupt these industries and decrease environmental pollution and animal abuse from factory farms and you will look good and enjoy great health!

Here's an excerpt from Democracy Now archive.

Bush signed a $190 billion farm bill. Under the 10 year program, taxpayers will pay farmers $4 billion a year to grow more corn. The people who benefit from the production of corn are not the farmers, but the processors, factory farms, snack and soft drink makers, who have switched from using sugar to corn sweeteners. Writer Michael Pollan points out in an op-ed piece in the New York Times/ that our diet has undergone a process of "cornification" in recent years, just as the epidemic of obesity and Type 2 diabetes swept the country.

Check out “Forks over knives” the eye-opening documentary about the food industries and the foods you eat. You’re welcome; because I know you will thank me.

Plutocracy seems to be a accurate description of what we have today.
