Where Has It Gone?

I was in the shower asking myself a few questions and, wounded by the cerebral injuries that are typically cast by time, is my discourse:
Yes, a catchy tune and big suvs can turn even the most grudgy and grotesque stance into an inspiring and pleasing specticle. In fact, that is just the way to do it, nowadays.
But what about those of us who cannot afford to compete with that...does that inable us to be a part of this system. Are we unable to afford a democracy?
Will then if that's the case, is it even a democracy? Isn't a democracy the rule of the people, not a rule of the capital. So that side with the most number of people, that side with the popular opinion, shouldn't they be the side that is followed.
Ahh, but of course, if you say that, then I can point to a government's - and specifically a Representative Democracy's - duty to mediate popular opinion and not to reflect it.
Well, as true as that may be in other areas of policy, I doubt that it has any ideological sympathy with the fine area of finance. Simply put...is this not an example of "taxation without representation..." after all if we cannot AFFORD to be a part of this adversial system that some of us dare call a democracy...what right is it of the government's to decide what to do with our hard-earned money. 
So yes, you "Tea-Party" imbeciles can continue on relinquishing, celebrating, even, on of the darkest events in Revolutionary History, but I will not take a part in such stupidity. I will not worship the acts of terrorists, but of learned men. It is the chant "Taxation without representation" or "Give me Freedom or Give me Death" that we must indulge ourselves in...not the gloomy words of theives and criminals who stabbed the heart of an economy like those evil men on that terrible September morning.
