The federal government = all about your interests

I'd love to see the same diagrams for Republicans. I'm sure there would be an equally long list. Glad to know my vote means something.

lol at Monsanto having it's own one. They're really the most evil company in America.

this is the folly of the publicly elected government.

Democracy can lead only to corruption and failure.

If the government was an authoritarian technocracy this situation would not exist.

Well a proper authoritarian state should offer the public three things:education,entertainment and employment. thats all the public should require.

What's good for big business is also good for the people. Derp.

They way I look at it is this.. No matter how great of a government society can construct.. It will always become corrupt at some point.. You overthrow it.. Get a new government.. Won't be long till the new starts a similar pattern.

If I were to pick someone to head the Department of Energy, what type of person should I choose?

This is irrelevant but even then, it really depends on the person in charge.

i do not support socialism nor totalitarian governments, though the latter can work much better than a democracy.

Authoritarian is too general a term if you want to talk about corruption. What will stop corruption is a hyper authoritarian technocratic meritocracy with heavy emphasis on the last two words. In that system corruption is eliminated and the public is kept educated, happy and useful by a supremely strong centralized government operated by a highly trained and educated bureaucracy. The idea of a limited government is idiotic and will only serve to limit mans potential until that limited government is either destroyed from within by the stupidity of the individual and the popular mob or by the strength of a less restricted foreign government.

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"] The problem is democracy provides a placebo for the poor - they think their voice/vote is heard and that they're free. America needs to go back to its roots, the founding father's didn't like democracy and central banks for a reason Murica... Fightingfan

No, it just seems that you have some idea of the failings of democracy and Plato can follow that idea to its logical conclusion.

has better healthcare than AmericaFightingfan

Is that because we don't give free healthcare to all fatasses, smokers, and people who eat lead paint?

You know they don't have a McDonalds on every corner and have bacon for breakfast every morning until their first heart attack... That could explain the life expectancy... but hey.

We all know life expectancy only involves the healthcare system and not life style...

Did the OP or anyone else seriously thinks that the government gives a damn about their own people?

If you believe the 9/11 Commission Report, then you're the one who believes a conspiracy theory.

:|

Without question the official 9/11 Commission Report, formally known as the Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, represents the most unsupported, contrived and ridiculous work of fiction ever produced by the US Federal Government. In fact, it represents the most implausible conspiracy theory in USA history, one that was foisted on the American people, as well as on the world-at-large.
