This from Doug Casey should not be missed. Those with the most votes (dollars) make the rules.
Democracy is just mob rule, dressed up in a coat and tie. It is too bad people confuse democracy, which is mob rule, with liberty and freedom. Democracy in most of the world is everybody voting for the person that promises him or her the most stolen goods from other people. Democracy is a political system, and all political systems rest on institutionalized coercion. Whether it is a king, a president, a congress, or a mob of chimpanzees, they dictate having to pay 50% of my income over to them so they can fund wars, welfare programs, the police state, oligarchic corporations, or whatever. That is what democracy is today. Regrettably, the average person has been programmed to think democracy is a high moral good, much as his ancestors were programmed to believe that monarchy was the way. The only kind of democracy that can be supported is the democracy of the free market. Vote with the dollars. Anything that wanted or needed can be gained by production and trade. The democracy we currently know is a fraud and a delusion."
