Changing Definitions

Re: $$$$$
It has always been one person, one vote. What changed is our concept of "person". When originally spoken, it was understood that a Person was (generally) a white land-owning male. Now, we use the broader definition of Person. In fact, they probably would have said one Citizen, one vote back then, which would have made the point clearer, I suppose.
The original point is still valid in any case. One person has become one dollar, and a very small % of the people have a very large % of the dollars.
We stopped being a Republic (we were never a Democracy) some time ago. |
