Democracy is meant to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people. But hardly in any society can you see true democracy.
The kind of government that praises itself as wealthy but focusses on the rich and affluent while majority of its population are poor is either lacking true democracy or is deviating from it.
It's just so sad that there's nothing the common man can do about his predicament. Sometimes it seems like the system is designed to fight against his progress while focusing on only the wealthy and prominent.
Eventually, it ends up in common revolution, with a lot of violence and bloodshed. Then it starts again.
