But this is process. Democracy requires full participation by all those who wish to vote. Similarly, for democracy to be meaningful, candidates should not have advantages due to their own wealth or that of their supporters. Electoral democracy also requires information disseminated by other than corporate elites. Freedom of the press is useless without many presses.
Freedom of speech is useless without many voices.
Those with the biggest presses and the loudest stations have a responsibility to enrich media offerings. Tax the big and mainstream to subsidize the small and dissident. Jackson ought to demand legislated subsidization of alternative media funded through taxes on large-scale mainstream media. Other arenas also present opportunities. Simultaneously, the definition of a tax-exempt organization ought to be simplified to include any organization that has a stringent and modest cap on employee incomes and that either reinvests or gives away all surpluses.
