Democracy: The Final Nail

0,How could our cherished Democracy, which thousands have died to protect, morph into a functioning Oligarchy? The constitutional principles of checks and balances, and of separation of powers have become all but irrelevant. We now accept as normal the scandalous amounts of money corrupting all three branches of our government. This book examines the 40-year decline of the principles of our democracy as established by our founding fathers. We have traded those principles off in favor of a system totally controlled by money. It further examines the current danger of the Oligarchy we have created taking the next logical step to Autocracy. Finally, the book offers some steps that could be taken to return us to a government of the people. However, until the American people demand more honesty, more integrity, and more dedication to service from their elected leaders, we will continue our decline.
