With all due respect, democracy, as you are thinking of it, is a pipe dream.
The reality is and will always be this:
The richest of the rich bribe the politicians they feel they need to to maintain and increase their fortunes.
A small number of principled politicians say no.
The size of the bribe offer is doubled or tripled.
Most of the principled politicians capitulate.
Some don't.
Those politicians find themselves dead.
Repeat.
The way to get to a brighter future is to reduce ASAP the size of all governments to zero. This is the message of the principled people among the agorists, libertarians, anarcho-capitalists like me.
In a lot of ways. To be fair to the Jewish people, they are not the only ones who believe they are The Chosen People. Many Christian Zionists, it would seem, also believe that the Jews are The Chosen People.
Of course, were it not for The State of Israel, what country would most Amerikans feel patriotic to? They certainly are not patriotic to Amerika, at least not anymore. Amerikans have not been patriotic to Amerika, ever since the US Military was defeated in Vietnam!

Israel certainly controls America!
I'd say it PROBABLY does; but, then, the question is HOW. How?
