If democracy were a patient, democrats want to save it but republicans want to kill it (#3138)

     We the American people are on life support at the moment and there are two doctors waiting to treat us. The first doctor is the democratic one who wants to try all the science and creative innovation available to save us. Knowing that a little bit of everything combined may just be the formula for us to get healthy and live long lives. Then you have the republican doctor, who after looking judgingly upon us turns and walks away with no remedy for our ailment. Because republican doctors don't think that we all deserve to be healthy. Only those who can afford to be healthy are allowed a remedy from them. Otherwise just let nature take it's course no matter the ailment or affliction. The difference between these two doctors is life and death in most cases so which doctor shall we have as ours?
     The republican party is well decided that democracy is not for all Americans any longer. We as a society of all the people are not their concern any longer. The only ones who matter to them are the ones with enough money to pay for it. Capitalism it seems has run roughshod over democracy so that now not only does money have speech but the entities that control it are considered people. This is the effect of what greed can do. Greed is now a virtue not a sin. Look at the churches that preach prosperity, they hold up the golden calf as not a symbol of what ruins societies but as one that improves society. Well if greed is what will build America into a future, one can only surmise that very few will survive the survival of the fittest scenario as equals. Most all will either be killed off or made as servants to the few who succeed.
     The form of our democracy will no longer exist and in it's place will be a society that measures a person's respect and dignity by the size of their wallet or purse. Where character and personality are trivial and instead the acquisition of wealth, through hook or crook, is the standard by which we are judged "human" enough. Think about this for a moment, those who can lie, cheat and steal better than those who are honest and noble will be judged as greater souls if their bank accounts are fuller. This is what the difference is when we talk about which party did you vote for. Democrats want to save the patient and republicans don't care about the patient except to go through their pockets looking for spare change.
