Democracy in the United States is in jeopardy.
The litany of problems is widely recognized: brazen political deal-making based on
campaign contributions; entrenched voter apathy; a two-party stranglehold that
increasingly represents only the narrow interests of a wealthy elite. Legalized
bribery is a fact of life, as is the refusal of a majority of citizens to vote. Ours
is a crippled democracy, each day appearing more as an oligarchy than a republic.
Certainly most US citizens enjoy freedom of conscience and feel that they can express
their political beliefs without fear of government persecution. But under the current
campaign finance system the voices of a tiny few drown out the voices of the majority.
The right of free political expression has been rendered meaningless by the massive
amount of money flooding the electoral system. The purchase of democracy is a theft of
freedom.
The state of our democracy is best represented by this new United Corporations of
America flag. Twelve corporate logos have been reproduced on the flag which represent
a snapshot of how corporations influence democracy today.
