7. The Citizens Are Not Really in Charge of the Country
The theory behind being a democracy sounds so sweet to the ears, and when it is applied properly it can cause a nation to thrive. However, despite the United States having the “best” democratic leadership in the world, you would be shocked to know that only 1% of the people control the government. Your vote is very important, but the government does not want you to know that the corporations and the extremely rich Americans are the ones who determine the course of the nation, the policies that will see the light of day, and the people you will vote for. The policies that the government will implement will always favour the corporations over the individual, since the chances of an individual having his or her voice heard after the elections have taken place are close to nil.
