Competition between the economy and government will never work

Competition between the economy and democratic government is not functional. All democratic governments are structured as a triad and hence require objectivity in all three Branches in order to function as a democracy. The duty of democratic government is laid on each of the three branches and on their proper function in 'political objectivity'. The objective functions of a democracy is proper Representation of all the People; proper 'execution' of the laws by the Executive Branch; proper 'interpretive practices' by the judicial Branch. All three are necessary and no one Branch can do without the other two Branches. However, a successful economy needs only a dialectic i.e. two factors, an investment and a profit. Its purpose and its end result is profits; and no business entity functions for long, when there are no profits. Businesses last only as long as their profits last; whereas democratic government 'lasts' as long as their is 'democracy' i.e. Freedom and Equality of each and every individual.( This excludes corporations because they are not real 'persons'.) Hence, its easy to see where profits can never 'motor' a democracy. A democracy needs Three Branches and furthermore, each of the branches must remain politically 'objective'. By political objectivity, I mean each branch must fully function in a truly 'representative' manner and must perform the duties of the political office. The economy does not need, nor does it want, Objectivity, Justice, Freedom or Equality. It wouldn't be able to function; it needs profits. Whereas, a democracy requires Freedom, Equality, Justice and Objectivity. Democracy can function without profits, but the economy cannot function without profits. Hence, we must find a way not to co-mingle the two principles.
