Look at G8, people protest every year, nobody comes and talks with them, but we are told - "you live in a democracy, the country is run by your will"
I see no democracy, it's just the capitalist dictatorship.

Can one man in America do that ? Can somebody say : "I will not pay my taxes, I don't want you to use my money for war". This is democracy - the will of the people, not the will of a few at the top.
No, nobody can do that , as a free man who decides what is going on with his contry, he will soon be unde siege , like Ed Brow - he did not pay his taxes for another reason, but it's the same ideea.
Who will attack him ? His own government , whoms existence he pays for.
You think you can vote ? They are all the same, corporations pay all the politicians before elections, to make sure their goals are achieved after.
You think you can protest ? They do not care, they will surround themselvs with police and that's all there is about it. Look at G8, people protest every year, nobody comes and talks with them, but we are told - "you live in a democracy, the country is run by your will"
