A Democratic Government is Complex, but it should protect the Freedom and Equality of the Individual.

A Democratic Government is Complex, but it should protect the Freedom and Equality of the Individual. Other Forms of Government are 'simpler' but they do not emphasize the 'Freedom and the Equality' of the 'Governed'. Of course, they 'claim' to be democratic, but the actual case does not support that. In Democracy, the Power at the Top is 'granted' by the People at the Bottom and hence the Top 'Must Be' more accountable to the People at the Bottom. Nevertheless, Democracies can be problematic because an elected Official can serve in that capacity for at least Four(4) years. Only after the expiration of 'Service' can an elected official be replaced by the Electoral Process. During that period of time, many 'Business Principles' can 'creep' into the Political Process. For instance; the Rich become Richer i.e. the 1% become 'Fatter', while the 99% are fed a few 'morsels' to keep them 'happy'. A 'happy victim' is less inclined to complain about his 'economic' and 'social conditions'. The Corporations, which are recognized and accepted 'legal Fictions', get 'Fatter and Fatter' and 'increase their grip' on the Medium of Exchange', i. e., on the Money and Properties' in circulation. That transforms the Social into a Corporate Society. A Corporate Society does not concern itself with the Freedom and Equality of all the 'Non-corporate' Real Individuals; it concerns itself with 'more and more of the same'; Money, Profits, and 'Largeness'. The Legal Fictions have helped transformed a 'Government Entity' into a 'Business Entity' motored by the 'Medium of Exchange', or, by 'more and more of the same'. Today, 'Government', or, the 'Representatives' in Government, are more concerned with 'Economic Principles' than with Principles of Democracy. Notice, the Lower Tax Rates for big Corporations; notice how many small corporations are going out of Business; notice how many Social programs are being attacked and discontinued; notice how 'Greed' has taken over the 'Freedom and Equality' of the Real Individual. Notice how a Democratic 'Government Entity' is becoming 'more and more' like a 'Big Autocratic Corporation'. Where are the real Politicians?
