8. Any TRUE Democracy....
...would lean toward Socilaism!

Its simple. There are more Workers than Owners.
On a level playing field (one man/woman=one vote), the Workers would have a much louder voice than the Owners.
Government would have to step in to keep the workers from killing the goose.

It would be the exact opposite of what we have in the US today, except that in the last 15 years,
the government hasn't stepped in to keep the Owners from killing LABOR.




The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.
