Inequality Rising — All Thanks To Government Policies

[fasttense]

8. Over time, capitalism destroys all democracies

Allowing a handful of lucky sperm club winners to amass, larger and larger sums of money will eventually buy out democracy. Politicians and federal governments can place restrictions and regulations on the uber rich capitalist but allowing them to retain the reins of wealth will make it so that they will eventually buy up all the politicians and the governments. Temporary restraints were placed on them by the likes of FDR, but elite capitalist like the Koch brothers worked night and day to get rid of even those minor restraints. That's where we are right now. Lucky sperm club winners are buying up our politicians and government. They have amassed so much wealth from our labor that they are practically kings. They rule us.

Until we workers take over the means of production, our democracies will continue to deteriorate and eventually disappear.

I think the choice is between capitalism and democracy, you can't have both.
