The greatest danger to democratic values is their replacement by economic values.

The greatest danger to a democracy is the replacement of democratic values by the infiltration of economic values into the Top of Government. That can happen very easily. Democratic values are the Freedom and Equality of each and every individual at the Bottom of government, as well as the democratic structure given us by the Constitution. The Constitution says nothing about the economic structure. The governmental structure is a political structure and that structure is set forth in the Constitution; that structure is 'constituted' by means of a Three Branch Government. The composition of the Three branches are described in the Constitution. But, technological progress rapidly changed the agrarian economy into a technological economy and then into an economy of production dominated by corporations. Now, our own 'democratic values' are being challenged by economic values, or, simply, by money and possessions. Money, possessions, and large chunks of money, has had a tremendous influence on the democratic values of freedom and equality. To be sure, money is a direct result of a successful economy. Its not bad in itself. Nevertheless, distinctions have to be made. The very basis of a democratic way of life is the freedom and equality that everyone should enjoy. The success of a capitalistic economy is based on that freedom and equality. So, the question arises, then, why is it wrong for money to be involved in our democratic way of life. Well, lets face it, its here to stay. That's true, but, we have said, money in itself, is not the problem; the problem is the greed behind the accumulations of a medium of exchange, whose nature is to circulate. And that's only the beginning. It appears that we are going in the direction of establishing a form of government, that, in the past, is established at the very inception of government viz. a Plutocracy. Were creeping up from a democracy and abusing the freedom and equality of a democracy to amass large chunks of money, by the top 1%, in order to change the government from a Democracy to a Plutocracy. The problematic is greed and hoarding. Both, of these phenomena, need to be addressed. If it can not be 'controlled' maybe the answer is to require more 'duties' from the 'economic corporate structures'; duties that require 'help' towards the economy. After all, corporations have benefited greatly from the political values of a democratic social. If the corporate structure was given a 'larger economic grasp', why can't they also help with the 'economic institutions' in a 'democratic social'? Instead, corporations pay less taxes than a 'real individual', they out-source work to avoid paying local wages to local employees, and to pay 'cheaper wages' for production. Corporations need new legal duties to help the local institutions of the Democratic social that gave them their arising. Failing that, Involuntarily dissolve the Articles of Incorporation.
