In life most of the people on Earth are here to answer to or be exploited for some ones personal gain.

Some end up with most because others serve them in that matter.

Those that serve exploit the rest to pass the wealth upward for a slight gain for them self.

Throw the word Democratic or Democracy out.

You may say it never existed. Put take it from me it as been used to bring hope & commitment to the Masses.

We are at the edge of what could be the most upsetting of World affairs ever. If Democracy in its best form is not going to be the basis of holding the World together there will never be any thing that most of us would not like to be a part off.

A record-breaking $107 million poured in for President Trump’s inauguration celebration from corporate giants, business titans and a roster of NFL owners, raising new questions about the influence of money in politics.
On Tuesday, the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC), an organization appointed by the President-elect to plan and coordinate all inauguration activities, filed a 510-page report with the Federal Election Committee (FEC) to disclose that they had raised a staggering $106.7 million in donations -- the most ever raised for a president’s inauguration.
In a statement, the inaugural committee said Trump's inauguration "was one of the most accessible and affordable inaugurations for the public in recent history."
The release of the contribution records reveals that Trump’s top inaugural donors included business leaders and corporations, including several from the financial, energy, and technology sector that have business dealings with the U.S. government.
"This is the complete opposite of what candidate Trump campaigned on, where he attacked these huge corporations, made clear they could buy politicians because he had done so, and is the political equivalent of overflowing the swamp not draining it," said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy21, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works on money in politics and government reform issues.
He added that the report shows that Trump appears to have raised "influence money," despite his campaign promises to avoid special interests.
The White House did not immediately return ABC News' request for comment
Businesses that donated at least $1 million included Boeing, Dow Chemical, Pfizer and Bank of America. Other financial companies like JPMorgan Chase and American Financial Group gave $500,000 each.
Energy companies also contributed heavily. Chevron Products, Exxon and Citgo each donated more than $500,000.
The owners of NFL teams the New England Patriots, the Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans and the Washington Redskins all wrote $1 million checks for Trump’s inauguration.
Trump’s largest donor was gambling billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who gave $5 million.
The FEC requires reporting of individual donations, in money or items, with a value of $200 or more made to inaugural committees. However, where the money was spent and how it was used is still a mystery since the FEC does not require that information to be reported.
The big-money donations appear to counter Trump's own statements. In August of last year, Trump railed against big-money donors who seek to curry favor with elected politicians.
"Look, I know the people that want something. I’ve been doing this all my life. I’ve been a very big contributor to many, many people on all sides for many, many years," Trump stated on CBS’s "Face the Nation." "I don’t want lobbyists. I don’t want special interests.”
According to a brochure obtained by the Center For Public Integrity last year, those who donated more than $1 million received exclusive access to Cabinet appointees and House and Senate leadership; an invite to an "intimate dinner" with Vice President Mike Pence and Mrs. Pence and tickets to other exclusive events with appearances by the First Family.
Trump’s inaugural committee raised nearly double the $53 million President Obama’s inaugural committee raised in 2009.
"The amount of funds raised for the inaugural celebration allowed the President to give the American people, those both at home and visiting Washington, a chance to experience the incredible moment in our democracy where we witness the peaceful transition of power, a cornerstone of American democracy," said PIC Chairman Tom Barrack in a press release Tuesday.
On Wednesday during the White House press briefing, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called record-smashing donating “nonpartisan activity.”
"I think a lot of Americans and companies and entities are proud to support the inaugural," he said. "And I think that you’ve seen that over time, the people who have been -- there are a lot of people who really take pride in helping us show the world a peaceful transformation of power."
The committee said that any leftover money will be donated to charities to be decided upon and announced at a later date.
Wertheimer said the undisclosed amount of funds could be a "pot of secret money for President Trump to play with," if the total is taxed.
"There are no rules that apply to what can happen to this money," Wertheimer said. "There is nothing to prevent this secret money from being turned into personal use by someone as long as they pay income taxes on it."

Floyd Brown wrote a long piece and I don't have the time to correct him on just about everything, but I will cheery pick a few.

>It brings to mind that some one said that people deserve the government they have.<
No, we don't. I sure didn't deserve those last eight horrible years. But we can't spend all of our lives going after every stupid government politician or law. Everyone does what they can within the framework of their personal lives.

>I go along with saying the Trump supporters do deserve him.<
His supporters and his detractors deserve him. The detractors deserve him because they supported all of the horrible government actions from our last president. They created him and/or a need for him. His supporters deserve him because he is trying to erase a lot of those bad decisions as he promised in the campaign.

>It has been said that new suckers are born every day.<
That is the main source of the Democratic Party.

>It use to be said people vote for the lessor of 2 Evils.<
Both sides did and the real evil was obliterated.

cheers

$107 million and it was reported today It turns out the biggest controversy surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration had nothing to do with crowd size or the fact that almost no one wanted to perform at it. After two major newspapers published the records of donations made to the inauguration, another reporter led a crowdsourced effort which revealed that many of the records may have been falsified. That includes instances of donations being made from “people” whose names don’t exist anywhere else, and whose listed mailing addresses are vacant lots.The process began when the New York Times and Washington Post published the Trump inauguration donation records. They were suspicious from the beginning, because Trump’s inauguration ended up being a poorly attended and comparatively small event, not justifying the large amount of donated funds. But from there, Huffington Post reporter Christina Wilkie put the records into an editable online Google Document and asked her followers on social media to help her investigate the more than fifteen hundred supposed donors. The results thus far are astounding. A few examples:
– On line 183, a $400,000 donation is listed from “Isabel T. John” who doesn’t appear to be a real person according to any available public records. Moreover one participant confirmed first hand that the listed mailing address for the donation has been a vacant lot for years. On lines 726 and 727 of the document, a combined $100,000 was donated from the mailing address of a nonprofit organization that appears to have only had $500 in revenue to begin with.There are a number of these kinds of seemingly outright falsified donations to the Donald Trump inauguration. There are also quite a few entries in which the listed zip code is on the other side of the country from the listed city and state. The collaborative research is still ongoing, as the Google Doc continues to evolve.
