250 Years Experiment Failed
Can’t help to think celebrating 250 years of the Republic may be seen as accepting the illusion that democracy has somehow succeeded in it’s endeavor for an advancement of a common good in the name of “we the people”. The common good being taxed for something in return, for example; basic passive rights of citizenship, healthcare including dental, affordable living space, education of a wholesome discretion, and jobs of actual necessity for the times we face, all with the taxes we pay already.
The illusion of the free market, or the invisible hand has taken us into a false paradigm that life itself is some business, rather than a public trust, to a market that feeds itself, and destroys its host, and nature itself in endless growth and corporate profits.
Never in the history of democratic societies has the populace been more removed from the decision making process than it is today. Our Collective Global future is being made behind closed doors by trade representatives-appointed officials with the blessing of amorphous, transnational corporations.
We have gone from our original government founding of the 18th century, and nature’s bounty and a class of elites invested in law, morality, and civic virtue, to the ascent of Capitalistic models to a Corporatocracy into plutocracy or oligarchy, and now financial elites rich beyond any economy or reason, where billionaires wish to destroy government itself, and its intended purpose of a more just, and sustainable society and world.
A people who honestly care for each other, and the world we share would of ended poverty, despair, and injustice long ago. In a land of no love, and war as economy, violence is a given, waste, fraud inefficiency is an inherent part of our corporate replacement of government as intended.These elites of capital and finance blame government for the wrongs of their own power creation, and freedoms. Where the inefficiency, and waste lies within their models of market will bare.

A huge part of the problem is the Jeffersonian notion that" the government that governs best is the one that governs least". While it is true as regards individual liberties, it is absolutely dangerous to think that way as regards economy…
We are now in a state of criminal, gangster, warlord capitalism, a failed republic, giving up on the common good for empire, and world domination, for a type of master race that denies all others their sovereignty, and cultures. Our 250 years undermining ancient ways of life and cultures of thousands of years
Life is not a business, and neither is government as intended. If we do not rid ourselves of this MAGA delusional element of criminal hypocrisy, and economy outside the laws of nature, then we are after 250 years a failed republic, a failed species of Homo Colossus Americanus in an economy to nowhere totally detached from the very planetary system of life that created us, as only nature makes or made anything great.

Progress is in really in such a system another word for pollution, power and control over others for no just cause.
By Social Security we mean economic security, or safety net economics stem from government, social security comes from community. In 250 years we have failed in bringing this to tuition.
Benjamin Franklin viewed democracy as a fragile "republic, if you can keep it," emphasizing that its survival depended on an informed, virtuous, and active citizenry rather than just structural design. He advocated for compromise, civic engagement, and warned against the dangers of factions, demagogues, and apathy.
A man's honour is his political life; and the moment he sacrifices it, he dies a political death- He is no longer a useful member of the community, but is truly a burden to society.
-Spooner Vermont Journal July 7, 1785.
Trump has been elected twice; only an ignorant popular sovereignty, and corrupted elites could of allowed this, everything the system of checks and balances was alleged to defend us from has instead brought us Mob Rule of financial elites and lobbies
I for one will not be attending any 250 year of a fake celebration of freedom and democracy. Save the money it can be put to better use. War as Economy is nothing to celebrate.
