In America our democracy is not always what we would think of as democracy. President Bush won the presidential election two times without having the majority of votes. Now Trump is finding out in America it is not the majority that wins but the majority by the establishment count that wins. From our archaic electoral collage that elects the president to the state rules for primary elections, and financial rules that allow wall street to rely on taxpayers to bail them out; all seem to be a bit rigged to allow for manipulation.
All these insider manipulations be it political or economical the insiders that is those with money and power have rigged out democratic and capitalist systems in their favor. These manipulations take away from most Americans and give maximum power to the rich and the insiders. It seems almost impossible to take this ill gotten power away from these greedy and power hungry people that are destroying our country? A beginning is to make it a constitutional law that all politicians are bound by TERM LIMITS and that financial greed is punishable by criminal prosecution.
