THE CHARITABLE GIFT ANNUITY

As indicated by Mr. Obama, the coming elections will impact the future of this country for years to come.    Will we have a consensus democracy or a dictatorship?

Wikipedia gives a definition of dictatorship, as

A government controlled by one person or a small group of people. In this form of government the power rests with one person. Such power is often obtained forcibly. A dictator usually takes away much of people's freedom.

On the other hand, a consensus democracy is described as

Consensus democracy is the application of consensus decision-making to the process of legislation in a democracy. It is characterized by a decision-making structure which involves and takes into account as broad a range of opinions as possible, as opposed to systems where minority opinions can potentially be ignored by vote-winning majorities.

Will we be governed by the dictates of the ruling elites? Or will we revert to the idea of a democracy? The elections will be telling.
