Ellen Martin : In this system, our system, the slaves are unaware, both of their status and of their masters, who exist in a world apart, and where the shackles are hidden amidst reams of unreachable legalese. It is a result of massive, pervasive corruption of the legal profession. When it takes a whistle blower to sound the alarm, it is cause for even greater concern. 'Cause it signals that democracy's checks and balances have all failed, and that severe instability could be just just around the corner.

Ellen Martin : I call on the European Commission, and the British Parliament, the United States Congress, and all nations, to put an end to massive, pervasive, corruption!, In this system, our system, the slaves are unaware, both of their status and of their masters, who exist in a world apart, and where the shackles are hidden amidst reams of, unreachable legalese. It is a result of massive, pervasive corruption of the legal profession. When it takes a whistleblower to sound the alarm, it is cause for even greater concern. 'Cause it signals that, democracy's checks and balances have all failed, and that severe, instability could be just, just around the corner. So now, is the time, for real action. It starts with asking questions. Tax evasion cannot possibly be fixed, while elected officials are pleading for money, from the very elites, who have the strongest incentives to avoid taxes, relative to any other segment of the population, Yeah, these, political practices have come full circle, and are irreconcilable. Reform, of America's broken campaign finance system cannot wait.
