The Perspicacity of a Pun

There's an old pun that tells us that, "In a Democracy, your vote counts, but, in Feudalism, it's the Count that votes.".

So,what about our representation (or lack of it) that we receive in our national and state capitols?

Is ours a Democratic Republic or simply modern day political feudalism?

All of which much reminds me of "Mouseland, a Fable for Our Times", which you can view at www.LarryKump.us.
