Democracy works, if the Bottom actively persues Freedom and Equality

Democracy will work, but only if the Bottom actively pursues the Freedom and Equality protected by the Constitution. It's the Freedom and Equality at the Bottom that establishes the nature of real democracy. Truly, the Top of government is Democratic, but the essence of democracy is at the Bottom with the People. Without a democratic Bottom, the Top would only be a 'paper democracy'. The Top of a Democratic government is obliged to govern pursuant to the Constitutional requirements as set forth in the Constitution. In the same manner, the Bottom must exercise their Right to Freedom and Equality in a real way. This right demands that individuals participate in their government by becoming 'democratic' individuals that help consolidate the Bottom in a democratic fashion and to insure that the elected officials are performing their duties as true Representatives of the People. Representatives have a delegated duty to carry out the duties of their office; the Individual, a duty to live 'freely and equally' and to support the governmental structure that protects those Rights. Here we have a dilemma; government creates 'economic persons' called "legal fictions", viz. corporations, and then protects them as 'real people' under the Fourteenth Amendment. Its obvious that the corporate structure has been given an 'economic grasp' that no real individual can compete with.( There goes competition) Now, the social or the Bottom, has 'real' People and 'economic persons' living alongside each other. Well, we live in a 'real society', and don't have to live in a 'corporate society'. Don't get me wrong; Corporations per se are not 'bad', 'evil', or 'unnecessary', but the government that creates them should impose some duty that off-sets the advantage they have been given. For example; Why should they pay the same amount of taxes that real people do? They are not real, hence they should pay taxes like a "legal fiction", that has been given a larger economic grasp. Once upon a time, they paid 90%, then 70%, now the same as real human beings. The system is 'loaded' against real people. Where are our Economists and Statesmen?
