Democracy, Chinese Style
Wha
t’s the difference between the United States and China? In America, we have democracy and respect for basic human rights. China does not. Well, not so fast.
The New Jersey Legislature is furiously working away to take away the voter’s right of referendum. They don’t want citizens voting on the taxpayer bailout that politicians have arranged for a casino owned by Morgan Stanley. Perhaps it is just a wild coincidence, but the Peoples Republic of China has reached a tentative agreement to help finance and build the casino. Is it starting to make sense?
If not, you’ll probably agree with John McLaughlin. John is a New Jersey voter who went to the legislature to testify against their efforts to take away our vote. Listen to John: mclaughlin.mp3
