We've Lost Our Democratic Republic
Ben Franklin worried about greed's influence on wealthy leaders and advocated for wise, peace-loving individuals to govern, suggesting an unpaid presidency inspired by George Washington.
He also feared the public's preference for monarchy over elite control that could threaten the states' future.
Now, here we are 245 years later, and we just celebrated the coronation of an Elite Leader surrounded by his Royal Court of Billionaire influencers.
