Our Secrets. Distrusting our leaders is common place. People believe our government isn't telling us the truth. Politicians claim we're a country ruled by laws and we have the greatest democracy on Earth. People say those two things aren't true. Some of our laws prevent Americans from seeing how our government operates and when it comes to our democracy, well we have a Corporatocracy that says who gets elected. Money walks and talks in the halls of our Federal Capitol. Our government keeps an unquantified number of secrets.
