Democracy Quote by Valerie Wilcox
““Let me spell out the facts so even you can understand: your country, the good ol’ U. S. of A., sets itself up as a model of democracy. It spends billions of dollars to help other nations, nations they owe no obligation to, while a people—whose country they seized by force of arms, incidentally—are not only refused help but have the very treaty obligating the help overturned.””
