Those that do not know their history are forever doomed to repeat is sadly true and the sadder truth is these people drag the rest of the American Citizens along for the ride. Our Legislators are not required to learn history and so repeat the mistakes made again and again. Judges are not required to learn either history or the facts surrounding the subject matter The United Sates Supreme Court Justices preside over such as Constitutional Law. What other explanation can there be for the mess the United Sates is in?
Corporations and big businesses, banks and so on were never meant to have a plate at the political table let alone be able to purchased legislators and legislation. These entities were never meant to be able to lobby our legislators. Doubt this claim, read for yourself what our Founding Fathers said.
At some point, ignorance becomes self-imposed and the ignorant have to be made responsible for the harm they have created. There is no excused that can be accepted for the harm they have caused to this Country.
For those that believe there is nothing you can do, that you are to busy or that it is not your responsibility.
