Democracy v Oligarchy

"The real difference between democracy and oligarchy is poverty and wealth. Wherever men rule by reason of their wealth, whether they be few of many, that is an oligarchy, and where the poor rule, that is democracy."

Aristotle (via zeitgeistmovement)

Even the Jesus freaks amongst the GOP know about rich men and eyes of needles. I guess the "compassionate" lip-service typifies their insincerity.
