Solo: Won't Get Fooled Again


The Preamble to our Constitution outlines the purpose of government as it should be in a free and just society.

This is also the fundamental claim of Aristotle's constitutional theory:"constitutions which aim at the common advantage are correct and just without qualification, whereas those which aim only at the advantage of the rulers are deviant and unjust, because they involve despotic rule which is inappropriate for a community of free persons."

Since the end of the Civil War we have seen our Constitution slowly corrupted by the few (plutocrats) for their own self-interest and advantage at the expense of the many. The history of this calamity is well documented and, sadly, hidden from our educational curriculum.

Why?
