SOS How Democracy Works



What you are also exposing is the truth about “democracy” which is an ideology that destroys itself by the practises demanded of it and the total lack of integrity of those elected to office.

1. Democracy elects its leaders from the “lowest common denominator” of society,

2. It elects those "elite" that want to be elected and stay elected,

3. Those that get elected are essentially those that have promised to give certain groups more of the collective pie – bribery,

4. Distributions of Government monies are targeted to supportive electorates that will assist in the re-election of those in Office,

5. Policies introduced by those totally untrained and incompetent in “governance” are designed to keep themselves in Office and not, for the true betterment of the Nation, as a whole,

6. The system of Lobby allows those in Office to strengthen their positions by strengthening the Lobbys’ position at the cost of the Nation. This is the symbiosis,

7. Democracy is a sure way to socio-economic destruction as shown by many writers and economists such as v. Hayek and v. Mises and Adams, et al,

8. People of the electorate are never questioning Government about transparency, they are all asking for a bigger share of the pie.

Self interest - is the motto for most government. Without self interest, there will be no government of the day. Self interest will top up with corruption, which make matters worst, having incompetent politician to set "sub-standard" policies. Sub-standard policies will continue to attract moret cronies and incompetent politicians. This is the political cycle, hard to stop this bad habit. Only when things go to extremes, will it change.

It is quite irony, the "corrupted" society will continue to vote the "corrupted" politician until one fine day, they are abandon (because all the money is squandered), hence, comes a new leader, who is inhereted with all the "worms" and a cleansing need to be done, and the entire nation has to suffer for it. Same old same old story, it happens in politics, it happens in corporation, it also happens in family.

In short, part of the society is morally corrupted. Until morality is emphasized, most knowledge will be misused. I am not against Ivy League graduates, they contributes, but as usual, some actually destroy wealth. We actually need less of those, but, what to do, morality will never be a subject that interest most, especially with such a material world.

A knife can be use for cutting meat or vegetables, and also use to harm others. It is not the knive that we need to change, it is the people moral value we need to cultivate.
