We are told the answer to every problem is "democracy" and by that they mean voting for experts to fix all our problems and put our full trust in the state.

And yet, the most democratic thing in this world is how the relatively free people in the US spend their money. People can choose to not buy from Apple, Walmart, and many other companies. These companies have grown because American's value saving a buck over pretty much everything. They want to get goods at the cheapest price possible. They do not want to pay more for goods to be built in the US.

Basically the average American is a spoiled brat that is being manipulated by politicians and made numb by corporations that rig the political system to un-level the playing field in their advantage.
