CD: Democratic Decline

A thoughtful piece by Mike Lofgren about our nation's current plight, which is not without historical precedent:  http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/12310-mike-lofgren-how-democracies-die
Can we imagine how we might organize resistance to such a situation?

We might address two key points; firstly, our Nation's sense of entitlement 'trickling down' to our individual sensibilities, or vice-verse – and second any individual or collective give-and-take attitudes based predominantly on the taking. I think perhaps for democracy to prosper we might introduce more social programs, not less, into our democratic infrastructure.
