Plutocracy Smiley

Indeed; moreover (boldface is in the original, highlighting added):

I am baffled at how people who understand basic economic principles can fail to grasp the most fundamental, unavoidable flaw of mass democracy.

Universal suffrage is vote inflation.  Making everybody “free” by giving everybody a vote is like making everybody “rich” by printing lots of money.

Yes, that is an original observation on my part.  Analogy credit: nullius.

Whereas the institutions of democracy—the government branches, the political parties, the mass media—all together have the rôle of the big banks in the debt-backed fractional reserve monetary system.

Democracy is a scam.

This is why I say:  Don’t vote.  By voting, you grant your moral and practical political endorsements to a corrupt system:  An ochlocracy manipulated by a plutocracy.  The result is kakocracy:  Rule of the worst.



A new favourite.

My condolences!



Yup. Both parties are literally the same. [...]

We're all fucked. Uniparty [...]

I think that fairly sums up what I strove to express in a big cartoon, and an even bigger reply post.



A trusted source reviewed the OP cartoon weeks before I posted it.  Evaluation was terse:  “Sheep won’t get it.”

Keep voting!  Because!  —Coke v. Pepsi just got more exciting:
