The Language of Money
The open secret is that money trumps democracy in America.

Money is power, the staff of life, the glory of existence and the real American Dream.

Those with it want more of it, as it allows them to control the conversation. The truth is that it enslaves them and begs that they use it to enslave others in return.

Those without it are excluded and even their vote can be made invalid. Many of these people are made to think that they can one day earn it... However, it's a faery tale for the most part.

To have money is to be able to speak money. Which is why those who have it work so hard to take that voice away from the masses.

Those who can only hear it's voice and nothing else do not have you best interests at heart.

When money is the lingua franca, then humanity is easily sacrificed on its altar.

150,000,000 dollars to purchase the governship. She is already
so close to having already spent One Hundred Million, it makes
you dizzy.

3. In that language, I'm virtually unlettered.
But then, foreign languages never were a strength.

(Haven't been getting many "peeks" recently... but a lot of "boos".)
