lawrence lessig-2016 will have two elections-TED talk

submitted by enoch

9 years 3 weeks ago

this most excellent talk from law professor lawrence lessig addresses the corruption of our democracy by the 5%.

no matter what your political philosophy,we can all agree that our representative democracy is severely broken with big money having an almost exclusive control of our legislature and the wishes of the majority all but ignored.

lessig breaks down the reasons how and why we got here and offers solutions to fix the problems.

if you watch anything today...make it this video.

Get the large money out and bring back free government.
Until people start minding whats going on nothing will change except the continued downfall of the USA.
