Economic success is not as difficult as Political success. Political success should come first.

Economic success, in Capitalism, is not as difficult as Political success in a Democracy. The problematic is that we are a 'Polity First' and then we are an Economy. The 'Economy' exists 'within' the 'Polity'. A Democracy does 'not grow' within an Economy. The Economy grows within the Democracy. Try growing a Great economy in a Dictatorship; or, in a Plutocracy. The reason for that is that the Real Individuals in the 'condition of togetherness', in the Democracy, are able to 'protect' the Economy. That's what happened when the Judiciary declared the 'Corporation a 'Person' within the protection of the 14th Amendment. Without that move, the economy could not have been as successful as it is. Essentially, the Government protected the Corporation. The economy was successful because the Courts created an Artificial Person, a non-real-Person. Wouldn't it be nice if the Courts could Judicially declare some manner of 'perfecting Freedom and Equality' of each and every living Human Being within the Polity. Instead, each case is adjudicated separately and as it arises in the Social. Its ridiculous to 'say how great the economy is, when there is still 'racial discrimination', economic inequality, and a 1% and a 99%, in the Polity. We are a Democracy First!, then we are a Capitalistic Economy. Why can't Corporations also be Democratic in 'function'? It seems that the Courts have created the 1% and the 99%. The Judicial Branch needs more control of the Corporations or the 'Artificial Persons' it created. All this 'fake-noise' about how great our economy is, and we still have racial discrimination, police brutality, and the existence of a 1% and a 99% ? Something is wrong with our basic Institutions. Where are our States-Persons?
