"They tell us, Sir, that we are weak--unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. 

But when shall we be stronger?

Will it be the next week, or the next year? 

Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? 

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? 

Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? 

Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power ... 

I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Patrick Henry , March 1775

Are We There Yet?

Definition of plutocracy is a nation ruled by the rich as a matter of policy.

The secret one world government, also known as the New World Order, is in fact a plutocracy.

Most nations are arguably ruled by the rich as a matter of practice, but few codify this practice in law.

It's not all rich people of course, just those who got together and concluded if they cooperated with one another and told only half-truths about everything, they could in fact create a technocratic utopia.

The early United States, in which only white male landowners could vote, is an example of a plutocracy.

In 2010, Judson Phillips, leader of the Tea Party Nation, suggested abandoning the current system of suffrage and reinstating the landowners-only requirement.

Voter ID laws also tend to encourage a plutocratic system of government by making it difficult for people who do not own automobiles to vote.

Every government currently in operation is at least mildly plutocratic, as it is always difficult for the poorest of the poor, and usually easy for the richest of the rich, to influence political systems.
