the value of democracy is that the ruler of the nation, the electorate, has the welfare of the nation as its goal, out of self-interest. elite rule only has their personal self-interest as a guide, and it is a commonplace of history that the result is the impoverishment of the majority. but democracy needs citizen quality people, and americans are only civilians. the american elite own islands in the sun, assets in foreign lands, and armed body guards when they leave the gated community. do you wonder if they have the welfare of the nation in mind? why is there no revolution?
