Dictatorship or Democracy

Is it me or does it feel like I've fallen asleep and woke up in one of those old movies where all of the people are being ordered around by people in chariots or something.....(shrugs)! Anyway this political stuff is draining my brain in part because I will be directly effected by the outcome of Ohio's Senate Bill 5 should it pass. One of the questions I have is can everyone see how the world (beginning with OH/WI) is turning into more of a dictatorship? Over 20,000 people turned up on the state capitol steps angry and protesting that the rights of the working class people not be violated, by eliminating collective bargaining. I mean seriously the people have spoken.......Hello.....is anybody out there? Can you hear me now? Good!   I don't know everyone has an opinion that's mine, what do you think? Is union busting a necessity in order to "balance" the budget, or is this just one more tactic to control things?
