Imagine if America was a dictatorship.
You could let 1% of the people have all the nation's wealth.
You could help your rich friends
get richer by cutting their taxes
and bailing them out when they gamble and lose.
You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education.
Your media would appear free
but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family.
You could wiretap phones, you could torture foreign prisoners,
You could have rigged elections.
You could lie about why you go to war.
You could fill your prisons
with one particular racial group and no one would complain!
You could use the media to scare the people
into supporting policies that are against their interests.
