Our country confuses the needs of the many with the wants of the few. Thirty years of neo-liberal policy has put us all in the pockets of the banks, enslaved by the manacles of mortgages, big debt and a media that constantly tells us what we deserve.

We eschew public services, universal healthcare and education to keep taxes low and the business machine oiled, a machine that makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Ours is a democracy and a democracy that we have sold to the world as the correct way to do things. We go to war in the name of democracy and protecting our liberties. But we have to ask ourselves what are the values and liberties that we are trying to uphold when our own civil liberties are compromised in the name of 'protecting' our citizens.

What right does an elected body have to make these decisions without due process. The institutions and diligence that have been set up to protect us. All of us. Legislation must go through the proper process.

You work for us.
