OOPS! We rigged the Iran/Florida-Ohio vote count AGAIN!!

OOPS! We rigged the Iran/Florida-Ohio vote count AGAIN!! 
by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman
June 23, 2009

Iran's Ayatollahs have just admitted that in some 50 cities there were 
as many as 3 million more votes cast than there were voters in the 
recent presidential election. 

But, they say, that's not enough to change the outcome. So, like Florida 
in 2000 and Ohio 2004, there will be no total recount and no new 
election. Election theft should be opposed, whether it's sanctioned by a 
supreme Ayatollah or the U.S. Supreme Court.

My comment; 
Is it really a 'democracy' when votes are rigged, elections are stolen, and moneydetermines the outcome rather than peoples choice? Why not just give the political office to the person who raises the most money from corporations?
Essentially CASH is the system we have in the US presently. Money determinesthe outcome in almost all cases. That money most often comes from hugecorporations who are then owed 'favors', which then translates into perks,social corporate welfare, laws written by those same corporations, and lobbyistsinfluencing politicians so they get what they want, such as bailout money, secretdeals, etc... I find it hard to figure out how democracy fits into this greed basedsystem, where corporations are in control.
How can votes be stolen and then people have no say in what happens next?In Iran and the US, elections are rigged but the people have no say in the matter. This has happened here in the US and in other countries. How do we create a system where that cannot happen. How can we have transparency and oversight by citizens?
Spiritually speaking, everything is perfect the way it is, and everyone is learningtheir lesson. I think the lesson is; greed does not work long term, sustainably. Do we have to endure a complete and utter collapse of the whole financial systemto learn that lesson? Capitalism is not any better than Communism, or Fascism, or any other ism.. We need a new system based on spiritual laws, not on corporaterules and cash saying what happens. 
How would a sustainable system look?
Could it be a system where every politician gets a certain amount of cash from taxpayers and then debates the other candidates with free airtime? After all, we the citizens OWN the airwaves, not the corporations that have claimed them.
How would a transparent and verifiable voting system look? Paper ballots still are my favorite, because PEOPLE like you and I can verify each ballot. Electronic votes aretoo easy to steal, rig and manipulate. Corporations are in control of those votes, electronic counting and etc.. People are kicked out of the system using electronic voting.Anyone have a better idea?
