More generally, people have little specific knowledge of what
is happening around them. An academic study that appeared right
before the presidential election reports that less than 30% of
the population was aware of the positions of the candidates on
major issues, though 86% knew the name of George Bush's dog.
The general thrust of propaganda gets through, however. When
asked to identify the largest element of the federal budget,
less than 1/4 give the correct answer: military spending.
Almost half select foreign aid, which barely exists; the second
choice is welfare, chosen by 1/3 of the population, who also
far overestimate the proportion that goes to Blacks and to
child support. And though the question was not asked, virtually
none are likely to be aware that `defense spending' is in large
measure welfare for the rich. Another result of the study is
that more educated sectors are more ignorant--not surprising,
since they are the main targets of indoctrination. Bush
supporters, who are the best educated, scored lowest overall. Noam Chomsky
"Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean?
It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not
avowed, autocrats, We choose between Tweedledum and
Tweedledee. "You ask for votes for women. What good can votes
do when ten-elevenths of the land of Great Britain belongs to
200,000 and only one-eleventh to the rest of the 40,000,000?
Have your men with their millions of votes freed themselves
from this injustice?" Helen Keller ... 1911 letter to British suffragist
From the fact of general well-being
came the new position of the poor.
They were now in most communities a minority.
The voice of the people
was now the voice of relative affluence.
Politicians in pursuit of votes could be expected
to have a diminishing concern for the very poor.
Compassion would have to serve instead
-- an uncertain substitute. John Kenneth Galbraith
Democracy is based on the principle of one person, one vote.
The market functions on the principle of one dollar, one vote.
Consequently, under conditions of unequal economic power,
a society ruled by the market
is a society ruled by those who have the most money
-- the antithesis of democracy. David Korten, economist
Predictions for mid term elections - results of exit polls - Republicans retain the house? Not very likely! G.O.P. looses nerve with voting machines? Democrats cannot outspend and outspin the GOP? Outcome will stay uncertain? Precinct result slow despite electronic voting? Stealing an election takes a little time!!
