Reddit reviews The Best Democracy Money Can Buy

I would, but I've never heard an argument against it. I'm not aware of any compelling (or even uncompelling) reason why it shouldn't be. That said, "Because THEY don't want poor people to vote" is not necessarily a jerkoff answer. Not to assign reading, but Greg Palast has written a lot about how laws determining who gets to vote and who doesn't actually have a great deal of influence on the outcome of elections.

For being British, Greg Palast makes a great American investigative reporter.

My introduction to him was his excellent book;

“The Best Democracy Money Can Buy” - about corporate influence of the U.S. Congress.

It gives a lot of insight into why everything is how it is currently. It goes more after Bush Jr (because he was president when the book was written) but also goes after people like ENRON, Clinton, Cheney, etc.

It's not certain yet that his elections weren't both stolen. [Greg Palast] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Best-Democracy-Money-Can/dp/0452285674) broke the Florida tale, but revelations suggest, [Ohio] (http://my.firedoglake.com/papau/2011/07/26/audits-and-proof-that-bush-stole-2004-ohio-and-election-coming-out/) was stolen in the second election, too.

9/11 was a direct consequence of an earlier fuckup in the 2000s, we just didn't know it yet.. What really started the 2000s was the beginning of the end of the american empire by the unravelling of the irrational exhuberance and goodwill inherent in America's particular version of capitalism.

Nu er man også automatisk registreret i Danmark, samt får tilsendt en stemmeseddel. I USA skal du selv registrere dig under et parti eller uafhængig. Derudover er flere ting som i mange stater kan diskvalificere dig at stemme, så som at være tidligere straffet.

Det er bl.a. derfor der var sådan et ramaskrig under Algore vs Bush, da man fandt ud af dem som stod for registrering af vælgere i Florida (hvor Bush junior bl.a. var involveret) havde slettet sorte vælgere for vælgerlisterne (man er registreret med race også) ved at hævde at de var tidligere straffet hvis de havde samme initial til fornavn, samt samme efter navn - eg. John E. Jansen er tidligere straffet i en anden stat, men vi sletter altså John Jansen fra stemmeregisteret, da han er markeret som sort.

Dette blev selvfølgelig gjort da sorte overvejende stemmer demokratisk. Dette er ikke en "konspirationsteori" men er enormt veldokumenteret.
