The Top knows it must govern democratically; the Bottom does not know what democracy is.

The Top knows it must Govern Democratically; the Bottom, unfortunately, does not know what democracy is. The Top has a duty, as a Democratic form of Government, to Govern in a democratic manner. But, it does not always do that because it has substituted an 'economic principle' as its 'motor' and has created 'artificial' human 'persons', known as 'Corporations', which have eliminated 'real' competition between 'real' Individuals. No Individual can compete, in economic activity, with a Corporation. Hence, the economy is generated in a Lop-Sided and 'unbalanced' manner. The problematic occurs when Government is then controlled by 'money', and 'economic classes', instead of a political principal of Freedom and Equality. Be careful, I'm not saying to eliminate 'corporations', I'm saying don't govern with an 'economic principle'. That gives rise to the problematic of the Bottom. Remember, the Top of Government is 'operated' and 'run' by Individuals, 'real Individuals', as Representatives of the People. The Bottom has become fixated with 'money', the Forbes List, and the 1%. The Bottom is too attached to 'more and more of the same', as a governing principle, and thereby, cuts off the Freedom and Equality it is entitled too. It does not understand what 'real democracy' is. The Bottom needs to appreciate the 'Freedom and Equality' assured by a Democratic form of Government. After all, it is they who elect the Representatives. If we study Elections, we discover that in most cases the election becomes a contest between the 'Haves and the Have-nots'. In todays elections, the contest is not between 'democratic ideals', nor is 'democratic language' being used, its the language of a bar-room brawl, and, unfortunately, a contest between the "haves and the have-nots". Sometimes, when the People, or, the Bottom speaks, or when they vote, the result is not always democratic. How sad. Political manipulation is alive and well.
