Democracy means something different to every person in this world. I believe democracy is how people come to work together to work as a whole on fixing problems in the society. Equallity is key is democracy. No person should be more powerful than the guy to their left nor to the right. someone like Derek Jeter shouldn't be making millions while the guy selling popcorn in the stands is making a couple bucks. That goes the same for the military someone who is a Lieutenant General shouldn't be paid seven and a half times what a privete E3 makes. My point is that the more "important" you are, the more powerful you are and you contribute less but the guy who makes nothing has alot more to do with invlovment with the society. The reason for that is because the sports star or the LT general son't actually see eye to eye with all the other Americans. While the popcorn guy and the E3 and almost never not involved with people. And no im not saying that all sports stars and Generals and tool bags because I know that some do contribute. Jonny Damon, for example, grew his hair out for a few years then cut it all off and doonated it and the money along with it to charity. But honestly most of the people who do that are people looking for attention or applause from their fans because we both no that atleast half of them wouldn't ever even think about doing something like that. In all reality if every one who made over 200 grand just donated a tenth of what ever they make, it could make a huge difference in this country. Look at Bill Gates. He recently donated $200 million to replace computers in libraries across the country. That is 1/210 of his wealth.It also means that everybody should contribute one way or another. Whether it's through the military or just through a small charity, people should contribute. it's not asking much to do somehting.
