I received an email from Michel Moore over his move Capitalism.. Within it
was a couple paragraphs involving democracy indirectly or directly
depending how you view it.

I guess that's bad news for us Americans. Here's how we define "Blessed Are
the Poor": We now have the highest unemployment rate since 1983. There's a
foreclosure filing once every 7.5 seconds. 14,000 people every day lose
their health insurance.
At the same time, Wall Street bankers ("Blessed Are the Wealthy"?) are
amassing more and more loot -- and they do their best to pay little or no
income tax (last year Goldman Sachs' tax rate was a mere 1%!). Would Jesus
approve of this? If not, why do we let such an evil system continue? It
doesn't seem you can call yourself a Capitalist AND a Christian -- because
you cannot love your money AND love your neighbor when you are denying your
neighbor the ability to see a doctor just so you can have a better bottom
line. That's called "immoral" -- and you are committing a sin when you
benefit at the expense of others.
end quote.
When I read this I wonder just what of democracy are we wanting to revive?
