[QUOTE="Grayson, post: 7459, member: 18"] [b]Misrule and Criminal Rule of America[/b] You're still a Rum Bugger fella. :lol: My tuppence-ha'penny. The convoluted machinations of governments and politics occupy a major place in human affairs. If we are not satisfied with current political arrangements, we will gain absolutely nothing by offering suggestions how the institution of government should be, but is not. So we feel. Don Quixote whimsically fought windmills in his quest for a better and fairer world. If we were to explore the many opportunities for improving governmental institutions, we would engage in quixotic behavior, counterproductive to our achievement of happiness in every sense of the word. The world will go its own way. We cannot change the broad aspects of the world to any substantive extent from within the current framework without changes our views about how it should work. We therefore cannot merely concern ourselves with the question: How does the institution of government work and how can we interact optimally with this behemoth? We need to abstain from the futile attempt to change governmental institutions so that they might comply with our view of reality and seek more radical forms of intervention to create a system of Government that cares for all. In order to change the way that we are governed, we need to understand the principles underlying governmental activities. This insight will allow us to cope with government in a rational and non-confrontational manner and see to the heart of the beast. This task is not easy because the halls of government are brimming with propaganda, misinformation and obfuscation. But, one principle exists as the very essence of Democracy; It is a Government of the people, for the people and by the people. The power to change our systems of Government lies in our hands, yet we don't use it, we allow the inertia of the system to continue. During the past 3000 years, humanity has experimented extensively with political systems. It has found democracy preferable to feudalism, theocracies and dictatorship. Democracy may be more benign than many other forms of government. However, democracy suffers from some inherent faults that will require the further evolution of the concept of democracy. One of the major flaws in the institution of democracy is the idea that all people are equal. People are not equal: Some people are dumb, some are smart, the majority of people are poor and only a small minority is prosperous. Democracies pursue the "One man, one Vote" system, combined with a simple majority vote. This scheme automatically creates situations where the majority of people will utilize the voting process to elect representatives who possess a mandate consistent with their needs and views. This Election Tool is instantly dumped after the election is over and the new Government proceeds to further its own internal aganda and that of its interested supporters. It is an innate human tendency to try to get something for nothing. Therefore, the larger and poorer segment of the population will always try to obtain valuable resources from the affluent sector of society, without having to pay for them. The poor masses use their voting power to get their elected representatives, their government, to confiscate the resources of the affluent sector off society. This levelling of the playing field is a major tactical tool used by each and every Government on Earth. They would sell you this argument, rather than any argument centered on real change, real improvements and any new methods of making your Government accountable to the people it allegedly serves. This bonanza for the unproductive majority, made possible by governmental confiscation of wealth from prosperous persons or institutions, eventually embeds itself in the laws of a society as a right. These benefits become codified rights because the majority of the people, through their representative, voted laws into existence that create the rights. Such confiscatory laws lack mutual consent and reciprocity. Confiscatory laws inevitably cause a breakdown of productivity and doom the society as a whole. It is counterproductive if politicians place a disproportionate tax burden on productive persons, merely because they have the money that the politicians can confiscate. As a result, the current version of democracy has the propensity for wars, for the confiscation of wealth by the masses, for demagoguery by its politicians and for legislation by the poor majority of people. This fatal flaw in democracies could be readily resolved by providing that a two-third majority of voters, instead of a simple majority, must approve all legislative decisions. Experiments with this model of democracy have proved highly successful in raising the prosperity of the total population. Undoubtedly, democracy will evolve further in the millennia to come. However, we are not concerned with reforming or improving the government, any government as things stand. Until new forms of government evolve, it is apparently incumbent upon us, the seekers of happiness, to deal with our government in the most efficacious manner as that is the way it works. Unless, of course, we say otherwise. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul, can always depend on the support of Paul. A bit haphazard, but my point is in there, somewhere. :huh: [/QUOTE]
