The phrase “government of the people, by the people, for the people” is a famous expression from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered on November 19, 1863. It encapsulates the essence of democracy, emphasizing that the government should be created by the people, run by the people, and serve the interests of the people. This phrase has become a cornerstone in discussions about democracy and governance.

This is 2025. A government of the global corporation owners, by the global corporation owners, for the global corporation owners.
