If You Like Corruption, You’ll Love Dynasties
The fact that there is a whole separate class of people who govern us is not news. It’s also no big surprise that the people who own our natural resources, means of production, media airwaves, and universities, also own all the candidates.
But the thing that really ought to make us take the streets is the fact that, not only are all the presidents rich white people, but now they all have the same names!
When a democracy has been run by the same class of people for too long, it starts looking more and more like the old royal families that regular people, like you and I, overthrew a long time ago.
In 2008, vote in the streets.

Excuse the formatting. It’ll look pretty by the time I go to print it. Promise.

Actually, “regular people” didn’t overthrow dynasties. Landed gentry, like Washington and Jefferson, did.
But otherwise, good luck at the protest!
Thats a good point. However, the aristocracy didn’t do the overthrowing, fighting and dying, they just did the post-revolutionary co-optation and governing. The folks who did the fighting, and even much of the commanding, were farmers. But you’re right, it was certainly a movement that was funded and lead by mainly the colonial ruling class. Tom Paine is a wonderful exception, but he never got his hands too dirty in the whole affair.
The French revolution, and many of the Atlantic Revolutions that followed, was much more radical and class-based.
text looks great Matt,
hillary is limiting her talk to the economy.
maybe throw in a line showing how her support of iraq war and its ongoing funding is depriving us funding for education, universal health care, justice for Katrina victims and other vital social needs.
Too late but let us remember that she supports the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. How wonderful we can be cannon fodder out and open for the them. BUT!!!! she isn’t for same-sex marriage nor the repeal of DOMA. She is bad news. But then again so isn’t Obama and the rest of the lot.
