PLUTO DEMOCRACY?

PLUTO DEMOCRACY?

(Cliff Schecter/Frazer Chronicle)

Silly me, to think that Pluto could be a term for a form of government here in the United States, the term sent me searching my dictionary for the meaning of Pluto AND Plutocracy. I kinda figured I had a handle on what Pluto meant, "It is one of the 8 or 9 planets that travel around the sun in their separate orbits." Pluto however has been declared a dwarfplanet since sometime in 2006 and doesn't count as a full blown planet anymore.

When science keeps changing things it kind of makes it hard to keep track of what actually is going on in our world.....and sky. Now they’ve come up with a new term to explain how a countries’ government is being operated, and by who.

Pluto was discovered back in 1930, not so long ago in scientific terms, I'm not sure when the word Plutocracy came into use.....maybe it was discovered too, I don't know. One thing is sure, Pluto is definitely a planet, unless you count it as a dwarf, and then it's not quite a planet, but it's bigger then a bread basket.

A Plutocrat can also be small.....I suppose even a dwarf, but still can have the same political clout as a person 6'6" tall, it's funny what money can do in today's world. Plutocracy is a government run by the rich, the wealthy, the hoy-ploy, the elite, or Daddy Big Bucks. These people are a select and private group of people who somehow have come to the realization that they should run everything.

I'm not sure why these people (after all these people are some of the richest in the world) would even want to piddle around in politics. Not all rich people dabble in politics, some however do, "dabble" just for the fun of it.

I've seen these people (in pictures); they might be standing off to the side, or right at the podium making some sort of speech in a rather dis-jointed fashion that will however.....effect millions in the not too distant future.

When the rich, or the wealthy wield power at the top of our government only bad things happen to us, the working stiffs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "the wealthy have absolutely nothing to gain by sharing their wealth."

EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING today is slanted towards the wealthy in America, don't even start to kid yourself. I'm not sure why the wealthy wanted to soil their hands with keeping us down, but they sure the hell have.

It's laughable today, many wealthy people figure that the have-nots in America want their wealth.....and it's just not true. Eight out of ten Americans want to earn their money; they don't want it given to them. Six or seven out of ten people want to earn their own benefits, like healthcare or other insurances. Through taxes, however, these same people feel that they are contributing their fair share to things like transportation and military spending.

The average taxpayer in the United States however does not feel that big business and the wealthy are paying their fair share, and as the divide continues, the feeling festers. Be advised you wealthy "got rocks", people on the lower end of the totem pole are getting tired of supporting you.

Whether it's Pluto or a Plutocracy type government, people will only take so much.....and then change the rules of the game. "You don't really think you’re in charge, do you?"
