When you put politics into money/markets/businesses, don't be surprised when there is money/businesses in politics. It is the same principle behind the separation of the church and state. We need the separation of markets and the state if we truly want the rich and powerful out of politics. But then that would mean we have to neuter the power of the state to bare necessity levels, which most people don't seem to want. What do you expect, the rich to just roll over and get screwed by the "majority" through mob-rule? |
Therein lies the issue. Government is trapped inside of the same system as we are. Money rules everything and there are those who thrive because of it and many more who do not. The power that it has over our society comes from the emphiasis it has over us. So, we would need to change ourselves in order to change the brokeness of government. What you are proposing seems nearly impossible. I don't have a solution for this that doesn't consist of a large mob. Can you think of a solution?
