We have in essence privatized our government.

I was reading this morning about Trump and his insistence that Cleveland delegate must delegate him because they were voted to do so. However the supreme court has ruled repeatedly that political parties are private entities and can do as they wish regardless of "democracy".

Taking this to it's logical conclusion, by voting in one party or another, the voting public is basically approving privatization of our government. We elect people who represent private corporations to run our government. No different than electing the CEO of Monsanto to run the country. He's going to run the country not for the best interests of the people but for Monsanto, and this is what we do. We elect people to run the country in the best interests of the republican party or democrat party, they do not to represent the people.

So what we are celebrating this independence day is not independence, we are celebrating our corporatocracy. We are celebrating our rule by two political parties who have no interest in the betterment of this country, only the gain of their party.

When a country is run to benefit a specific business, you get what we have in this country, a shit sandwich.
