What is the future of our democracy? Is it a realistic option?

I believe the future of our democracy is really based on a few different factors contributing to the changes that will occur in the near future. First, Money, just like with anything else in the world is going to be a big influence on the changes that could be right around the corner for our Nation. Also, secondly I believe that todays population does not take the opportunity to vote and be a part of what our government does. Being a "Voice" in a nation is huge. And realistically I believe that our nations people will need to change this habit to allow the change to occur. Without our citizens this Nation crumbles. Fact! THe problem is the more money the bigger the problem is. The reason i state this is due to the companies and big coorporations. They give politicians a ton of money for favors if they get in office. It's paying the system. It should be illegal, but hey I'm not someone with millions of dollars who can donate a ton to someone running for office and actually have them hear what i have to say. It's corruption at it's finest.

week 13

Great question especially with all the stuff going on in D.C. I believe a natural defense system would help with this problem. A defense for our country and extra help for the UN. Little taxes are paid by huge coorporations. Which is hudla hudla. Stupid. Our nation could be making money off rich coorporations but nope we go aftert the middle class and loose money. Great idea. I swear our politicians are getting dumber and dumber every year. People who don't pay taxes but have kids collect a nice size check from the Irs. i had no clue the IRS was a refund center. Wow! I also believe politicians should be required to disclose any deals to the public eye. But does this or ca this really happen? I don't think so, due to the fact that the American people being able to have access to this would create huge pandemonium. This could lead to revolt against our country. But it may be a good thing in the long run.

week twelve

This weeks question mind boggled me. It is a tough one to understand and answer. With that I will do my best. I believe the question is how the government helps families in a sense, but I also believe our government is helping the worng people and leaving the true needing families left short of even being fed. "equity" is hard to level with everyone. Things like taxes, loans (personal and student), and minimum wages all play a role in "equity." These topics plus more are the issues not allowing the less fortunate to get by. I have a feeling in the upcoming years, if this is continued, protests will be growing to fight for what is right and for what is right the government should do. Or at least you would think! I believe the government knows this is an issue and is not yet knowing what to do with it. I know for a fact the the state of Minnesota deports their homeless in an attempt to keept their streets cleaner. They send them to denver. I worked at jesus saves and talked to many homeless people, when i was nursing and administering free flu vaccines to them. A majority told me the exact same thing, That they were put on a greyhound and sent to Denver. How can we do this to people who are struggling. Is it cause society in that area can't put in a helping hand and build a homeless shelter big enough to fulfill the homeless in their area. It's pretty un American.

When it comes to devlopment in the issue of foreigh policy

When it comes to devlopment in the issue of foreigh policy, My belief is to stay out of other Nations problems and allow them the respect to figure out what to do on their own terms. Mind our buisness and live our own lifes. Countries have their own beliefs on resolving issues.
I think we don't shape our foreign policy in regards to domestic policy. And only offer services to other nations if asked. I believe that Nations have to figure out what needs to be fixed within their own society and government, even if other countries are there to monitor the situation, to be able to fix what needs to be fixed for their land and citizens. I think the problems arisig throughout the world is that America jumps in too much into other countries problems, while America can't even fix itself for it;s own citizens.
