Who decides? The many or the money?

Keith Ellison, U.S. Representative for Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District, wrote a good “Counterpoint” in today’s Star Tribune - “Minnesota Values Deserve Our Support”.

My favorite line is “…the voices of the many, not the money, should govern our democracy.”

If you are a U. S. citizen, I hope you have Tuesday, November 4, 2014 on your calendar to remind you to vote.  In fact, be sure that the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November is on your calendar for every year.  Local and state officials need your electoral support, too.

"Socialism" and "free markets", an observation

The ideologues of "socialism" think that taking away the benefits of the few will benefit the many.

The ideologues of "free markets" think the benefits of the few will benefit the many.

In either case, only the ideologues benefit and the many get the crumbs.
