    apples & oranges?

    Why do so many still confuse DEMOCRACY with CAPITALISM? They are not synonymous. The current administration has been pulling the wool over your eyes -- they defend "capitalism" in the name of "democracy," while whittling away at and threatening the very fabric of the latter. Get out a dictionary or encyclopedia to educate yourselves on the difference between these two concepts --- or would reading a dictionary or encyclopedia, educating yourselves, be too "elitist?!"
