The Political Top of Power has lost its Mobility, Efficiency, and 'sense' of Purpose.

The Political Top of Power has lost its 'Mobility', 'Efficiency', and sense of 'Purpose'. It has lost its 'Political Grasp' of the 'Many'. A Political Language is a General Language that includes the 'Many' in its 'Generality' and the 'Specificity' of the Individuals in their 'Condition of Togetherness'. A Political Language is also an International Language. As such, it always includes the International Sphere because the 'International Sphere' includes Other 'Political Power Structures' and 'Individuals'. When a Top loses its ability to use a Political Language, it cannot function on the 'National' or 'International Sphere'. The end-result will be a loss of 'Reputation' on the 'International Sphere' and a loss of 'function' on the 'National Sphere'. The 'National' will become 'dis-functional' and the 'International' will be perceived as 'Weak'. A Nation should never be Weak for the simple reason that it cannot speak the proper 'Language of Politics'. That's why we need a 'Real Politician' at the helm. Navigating Political Waters cannot be achieved by using the language of 'Back-Yard Brawls'. It takes a 'Real Politician', not a Businessman to drive the Ship of State. When the Political Top uses the language of the Bottom to 'drive' the Ship of State, its headed towards 'murky Waters'. The Language of the Bottom cannot drive a Political Entity of Power. A Political Entity needs a vocabulary of Politics, Generality, and respect for the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Real Individuals' at the 'Bottom'. A Democratic Political Top of Power is 'never' Greedy, or Self-Serving. Its there to 'Serve' the 'People', not to Rule them, nor to 'speak' the language of 'Back-Yard Brawls'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Sad. The 'Top' no longer has a 'Proper Language' to 'steer' a Nation with 'Diversity at the Bottom'.

Sad, the Top no longer has a 'Proper Language' to steer a Nation with 'Diversity at the Bottom'. A 'Real Democracy' has a 'Diverse population' at the 'Bottom'. The most important characteristic of such a Democratic Bottom is the different Races, Peoples, and belief systems at the Bottom. It is inevitable that 'Political aspirations' 'would' and 'should' motivate 'any' and 'All Different Peoples' at the Bottom. That's what democracy is all about. The language of the Constitution states We the People...in Order to form a more perfect Union,...promote the general Welfare....etc. It does not say, We the 'Democrats' or We the 'Republicans'. Its a 'People Thing', not a 'Political Party' Thing. Individuals who hold 'Political Office' should be very much aware of the fact that they only 'Represent' the People at the Bottom. They have no other function. But they're using the language of the bottom, incorporating 'Racial slurs', etc. and combining it with the 'Language of Advertising' to persuade and to create demands at the Bottom that should not have a 'Right to exist'. Public Office Holders should fight for the Freedom and Equality of everyone at the Bottom. Instead, they have 'escalated', 'elevated' and increased the 'temperature' of the every-day 'Language' of 'Hate', 'Criticism', and 'Racial Prejudices' to 'color' the so-called 'Political Language' of a Political Democracy. And all this, to Win an Election. That is not a Language of Democracy; its not a language of 'Freedom and Equality'. If the Representatives at the Top do not represent all the Real People at the Bottom, the Bottom is without 'Voice' or 'Representation'. The Bottom is not being 'Governed'; and those who 'choose' to 'Run for Office' are being 'Insulted'. That is not Democracy and the sad part is that the Individuals in 'Public Office' are the ones 'perpetuating the destruction' of the Democracy that 'elected them'. Where are the Real Politicians?

The 'Political Pulse' changes daily; but today, the Political language of the Top has been replaced by the 'Language of the Bottom'.

The 'Political Pulse' changes daily; but today, the Democratic 'Political language' of the Top has been 'replaced' by the 'Political Language' of the Bottom. How strange, what was once 'spoken' at the 'Bottom' by the 'Individual Person' is now 'used' at the 'Top'; and it is being used by Individuals in Public 'Office'. It seems as if the 'Formality of Office' or 'linguistic propriety' expected from Political Office holders is no longer implemented. Why is that? 'Political Office requires 'Political Knowledge' and 'Political Language'. No one would run for Office if She or he did not know what Politics is about. But, be careful, I do not mean being 'Politically Correct'. That is hypocrisy, Politically Vacuous, and insincere. I refer to a genuine sense of 'Serving a Nation' and the 'Many People' at the Bottom. 'Political Activity' can only be 'functional' and be 'described' on a certain 'level of Propriety'. Political Language is about 'Governing', not 'Ruling'. There are no Rulers in a Democracy, and there should be no CEO's, or 'Business Minded Office Holders'. Business is not 'Democratic'. Business is about 'Profits'; not about 'Democratic Political Policy'. Businessmen do not Govern 'Political Entities'. They 'Own and Run' Business Corporations, or, more accurately, 'Legal Fictions'. Today we 'Hear and See' 'High Office Holders' arguing like children at some 'Back-Yard barbeque', instead of a 'Political debate' about 'Democratic Values'. I refer to 'Name-calling', 'Direct and Indirect Racial referencing', and 'Petty Party criticism'. The 'Bottom' of the Nation is being divided and the Division is being caused by the 'Language' being used at the Top. How sad; A 'Political Top', a place of 'Political Power', that should be concerned with the 'Many Real Individuals' at the Bottom, in the Social, who form an 'Integrated Society'. The 'Integrity of the Nation' is at risk. Instead of 'correcting' the Racial Divide, the economic 'Class Consciousness', or the divisions of the 'Haves' and 'Have-nots', Individuals in Offices of Political Power are contributing to the further 'attenuation' of the 'Political Relation' that connects the 'Top and the Bottom', or, the 'One' and the 'Many'. That 'attenuation' destroys 'Real Democracy'. That attenuation separates the 'Top' from the 'Bottom' and those 'Real Individuals', at the 'Bottom', find themselves 'navigating' the 'Social' without a 'Real Government'. Where are the Real Politicians?

How Sad. Remember when 'People' were encouraged to 'Immigrate' to the U.S.: now, Immigration has become a Problem.

Remember when 'People' were encouraged to 'Immigrate' to the U.S.?: now, Immigration has become a Problem. Like 'Socialism', 'Immigration' has gotten a 'Bad name'. What has happened to these 'old Political concepts'. Once Immigrating to the U.S., was a 'Good Thing'. Of course, todays use of the term 'Socialism' is not the same as the 'older concept' of a 'Nation owning the 'means of Production'. Today the term is used to refer to the 'Social' as an 'Institutional place' where all the Institutions and 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom are situated. Immigrants are still allowed to come in so long as the proper Procedure is followed and the term Social is used, generally, as a reference to the Individuals, both Real and Fictional, at the Bottom of the Political Entity. What happened? The old metaphor of " We are all in the same Boat" no longer seems to apply and rightfully so. Today, its more like "we are all on the same Planet". Its a larger place; it involves many different 'Peoples' from different Nations and different Races. Why are our "so called Politicians" unmindful of that fact? Our 'World' has become 'larger' and 'smaller' at the same time, because of 'Technology' and many 'Political issues' cross 'National Boundaries'. Why isn't the United Nations involved? 'Political Issues' have changed. National Boundaries have become 'less necessary' and more Human cooperation has 'become essential'. That situation calls for 'relaxing National Boundaries' and not 'Building Walls' to encourage 'Political Isolation'. How arrogant to think any one 'particular Nation' or 'race' is entitled to the 'Planet' we live on. 'Technology' has 'enlarged' our 'perception and experience' of the 'World' we live on. Why hasn't our 'Political Knowledge' kept up with the 'changing World'? How sad, it seems that as the 'Political World' changes and should become more 'Unified', the 'Human Condition' falters and becomes less 'Human'. As 'Politics changes', the 'Human Condition' changes for the worse. National Boundaries were created to establish 'National Identities', not to create 'Haves' and 'Have-nots' among 'Nations' on the Political Stage. All Human Beings are the Same and All are 'Free and Equal'. Why do we lock up Men, Women, and Children, just because they are "Immigrants"; and Why are Nations, 'all Nations'; so against the 'Human Condition'? Where are the 'Real Leaders' and the 'Real Politicians'?

An 'Unstable' Top of Power cannot 'emit' Power.

The Political 'Top' cannot 'emit' Power if its Unstable. A Political Top is always a Top of Political Power. A Political Entity is stable to the extent it 'manifests stability' at the Top. That's why the Autocratic Form of Government is deemed to be a very Powerful 'Political Entity'. In an Autocracy, all the Power is at the Top. An Autocrat merely 'eliminates' the 'obstacle' creating whatever 'instability' may exist. However, a Democracy has Political Power at the Bottom when the 'Bottom' is considered 'Free and Equal' and when that Social is Institutionally established in such manner as to both, 'express and manifest' that 'Power' or 'Unity'. Of course, in a Democracy the Power of the Bottom is transferred to the Top. But, the Political Top is expected to manifest its Power in the manner in which it 'establishes', 'organizes' and 'manifests' the 'Social Stability' in the Political Entity. That requires a certain 'coherence' between the 'Top' and the 'Bottom' which 'manifests' and becomes 'evident' at the 'Top'. In such a case, the 'Top of Power' in a 'Democracy' emits 'Political Power'. The Top is always 'Institutional' and 'reflects' the 'Power of the Many' in a 'condition of togetherness', or, 'the People'( "WE The People") as a Whole. Hence, the 'Top is Powerful'. But, consider a Political Top that always 'bickers' with the Other Agencies, Departments, and Branches of Government, and is 'acting' as if he was still 'at the Bottom', and is trying to establish his own 'self-importance', and reflects his own 'instability', and 'engages' and is 'accused of engaging' in questionable activities; that is a sign of 'Personal Instability'. That does not occur often. When it does, it weakens the 'Top of Power' which should manifest Political Power at the 'Top'. An 'unstable Top' cannot emit 'Political Power' in an 'Institutional Entity'. An 'Unstable Top' does not emit 'Political Power', it emits weakness, Instability, and uncertainty. Where are the Real Politicians?

Democratic Government is Government "of all the People" and all of their 'Social Institutions'.

Democratic Government is Government "of all the People"; and 'all their Social Institutions'. That includes all the 'Social', 'Political', and 'Economic' Institutions 'established' to make Government 'functional' as a 'Democracy'. A Democracy should not 'only' be 'Functional', it must establish all 'necessary Institutions' to 'insure' that 'Real Democracy' has an 'Institutional foundation' for the 'materialization of a 'Real Democracy'. Of course, that includes the 'Economic arrangements' and 'functions' within Society. The 'Primary' concern of a Democracy is the 'Freedom and Equality' of all the 'real Individuals' in the 'Social'. Of course, that includes the Real Individuals in the Economy also, but the Government saw fit to 'create Legal Fictions' in the Economy and those Fictions are also to be considered 'Persons' and are Protected, as such, by the Constitution. The Judicial Branch of the Government protects those 'Persons' as Legal Fictions that exist "only in contemplation of law". The end result of that has been that no Real Human being can compete with a Corporation; or produce more than a Corporation. What happened to the Equality of the Real Individuals? Well, we could stretch a little and say, OK, so the 'Real' works alongside the 'Legal Fiction', but why not also protect the 'Real' from the 'Fictional'. Today, those fictions also produce huge 'imbalances' in the Economy by contributing to the creation of Economic Classes. Recently they even had their Tax Liability Reduced. Of course, that only applies to the Legal Fictions. So, we have a scenario where the 'Government' creates 'Legal Fictions' and then 'protects' them as 'Persons' and then does 'not require' them to pay their 'share of Taxes. There is no problem with creating 'Money Making Machines' so long as one creates 'Protections' for the 'Real Human beings' from them also and from the 'creation' of huge 'Economic classes'. And who creates this mess; the Government? Which Government? The 'Democratic One' or the 'Republican One'? Rest easy, there is no Distinction in 'Real Governing'; there is only Governing 'Real People' and 'Real necessary Institutions' that are motored by 'Freedom and Equality'. Unfortunately, the 'Political Parties' only play 'Political Games' which are 'motored by Money'. How Sad. Where are the Real Politicians?

Government is essential; Corporations are also essential; but each is 'Motored' differently.

Government is essential; Corporations are also essential; but, each is 'Motored differently'. Each must retain its separate Identity and each must be 'motored' differently. One 'Governs' Real Individuals at the Bottom of the 'Political Entity'. That's what in old times was called the 'One', and the 'Many' makes 'Profits' purportedly to create a 'balanced Economy'; that's what in old times was called the 'Many', but today it includes the Business Corporations. 'Each' has a purpose and each must function according to its nature and each must retain their 'Separate Identity', but 'never shall the Twain Meet'. Mixing the 'Motors' creates havoc in the Political Entity and in the 'so-called' Autonomous Economy. Mixing creates 'an effect' of intermixing 'Profits' with 'Governing'. That disables a Democratic Government and it does not balance the Economy. In fact, it creates a 'Plutocratic' or 'Oligarchic' condition in the 'Halls of Government' which 'changes' the characteristics of a 'Real Democracy'. A Democratic Government cannot be motored with 'Profits', and a 'Balanced Economy', cannot exist in a 'Plutocratic' or 'Oligarchic' Polity. Freedom and Equality cannot be mixed with 'Greed' in a Democracy. 'Greed' or 'Economic Greed' eventually calcifies into 'Plutocracy' or 'Oligarchy'. It creates 'Haves' and 'Have nots' and in such cases democracy cannot flourish. Freedom and Equality go out the Window, and Greed 'Flourishes' in the 'Haves' and the 'Corporate Economy'. 'Legal Fiction' overcomes 'Law and Order'. Where are the Real Politicians?

A 'Government' cannot exist without 'the Governed'.

A 'Government' cannot exist without 'the Governed'. A Government has 'Political Power', but one must always ask 'over what or whom'. Since a Government is not a 'Natural Phenomena', its an 'Institutional Phenomena', the issue always becomes, 'What' or 'Who' does it Govern? Of course, everyone agrees that a Government Governs 'Its People', and that a Democratic 'Government' was established at a 'Constitutional Convention', being called and organized by 'The People' to be 'Governed'. In other words, the 'Governed' created the 'Government'. Once created, the Government must establish the 'Social institutions' that will hold 'The People', or the 'Governed', together in a 'Condition of Integrity'. That's why a Democracy is a 'Social Institution' held together with 'Law' and 'Order'. The law creates an 'Orderly Social', or a Social governing the 'everyday interactions' of the 'People' while protecting their 'Freedom and Equality'. Without law there would be chaos. With Law, there is 'Social Order'. So, the next question is if a Business Corporation is considered 'a Person' by the Courts, and is protected by the Constitution and Law, why are there no requirements compelling a 'Legal Fiction' to act like a Democratic Citizen? Why does an Economic legal Fiction get protected but is not given any Democratic, Social Duties? All 'Human Citizens' have their 'Freedom and Equality' protected, but they are also required to 'abide by Law'. They are required to be 'Good Citizens', or pay the price. So, why are Money Making Legal Fictions created by Law? They create an Economic Imbalance that benefits the Rich, wealthy Individuals only and not the 'Economy' as a whole. The Business Corporation needs to contribute to the Democracy that allowed for their creation and they should also be 'Good Economic Institutions' that contribute to a more 'Balanced Economy'.

No democratic 'Political office' can drive a 'Political Entity' with Economic Principles.

No democratic 'Political Office' can drive a 'Political Entity' with 'Economic Principles'. Of course, the reason for that is that a Business Corporate Entity 'incorporated' for the purpose of 'making Profits' is never focused on the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Individuals' at the Bottom of the Entity. Its sole and 'primary purpose' for 'existence' is to make a Profit. The corporate Structure gives it Focus, Size, and hence, a Sole purpose for Existing in the Economic Sector. But, 'Business Principles' as 'Business Principles' should 'never' get involved in the Political Sector. Why not? Because, they contribute to the 'Economic Welfare' of the 'Nation' and not the 'Freedom and Equality' of the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom. A Democratic nation must be driven by Political Principles not business Principles. Its very easy to mix the Two under the guise that it will help the Nation as a Polity. Don't kid yourself. Business Principles are 'Dictatorial' in Nature, not 'democratic', and are designed to be 'Profitable'. They do not contribute to the Freedom and Equality of the 'Real Individuals' in the Polity. A 'Political Office' requires the implementation of Democratic 'Political Principles' at the Bottom of the Polity. Principles and programs that help alleviate 'Racial Discrimination; Huge Economic Inequalities; and hopefully gets us out of the 'mental Framework' that we are a 'Corporate Society'. We are a Society of 'Real Individuals' and not a Society of 'Corporate Fictions'. Corporations make Huge Profits but they 'should also' implement 'Democratic Values'. We need to 'work' on that 'weakness'. After all, we are a 'Democratic Society'.

If Legal Fictions are "Persons", for Reasons of Economic Protection, why not also give them "Democratic Duties"?

If 'Business Corporations' are 'Legal Fictions' and are to be considered "Persons", for Reasons of 'Economic Protection', why not also give them "Democratic Duties"? After all, they are 'Total Fictional Creations' and hence, not 'Real'. But, the 'Bottom' of a 'Polity' is composed of 'Real Individuals' and hence their 'Birth-Right' of 'Freedom and Equality' must be 'Protected'. The Bottom, constituted of Real Individuals, have Democratic 'Duties', such as being 'Law Abiding', and of 'Participating in Elections'. Of course, Real Individuals are 'born Free and Equal'. No 'Political form' can take that away from them because the 'Polity' is a 'Man made Construction'. Its not a 'Natural Phenomena'. Its an Institution, its 'Human Made', and as 'Such' should have the 'Acquiescence' of the 'Bottom' or the 'Governed'. Why? Because the 'Bottom' of the Polity is the 'source' of the 'Political Power' transferred to the 'Top of a Democratic Political Institution'. No 'Human Institution', 'Political' or 'Otherwise', can deprive a 'Real human Being' of His/Her 'Natural Freedom and Equality'. So, back to the Issue. If Business Corporations are to be considered as Economic 'Persons' and are Protected by the Constitution, as such, why not also require them to 'give back' to the 'Democracy' that allowed them to 'Arise'. Certainly, a Corporation could have a 'Department' whose Function would be to protect the 'Democratic Spirit' that allowed for their 'arising' or 'creation'. In that way, the Corporation can also be a 'Good Citizen' as well as a 'Machine for making Profits'. That should be a 'Requirement', in the Corporate Charters of all 'Business Corporations'. A Democratic Economy needs to 'achieve balance' as best as possible. The way the Business Corporation is 'created' and the 'Protection' it gets from the Constitution, as a Profit making machine, creates an 'Imbalanced Economy'. Business Corporations can be 'Great Profit making Machines', but they should also be 'Good Citizens'. If the Constitution can Protect them as 'Persons', it can also 'require them' to be 'Good Citizens'. The 'Economy' needs to be 'more Balanced' in order to 'Equalize' the 'Injustices' that occur in being a 'Lopsided Monstrosity'. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politicians need to stop, just being 'Politically Correct'; and start being 'Real Politicians'.

Politicians need to stop, just being 'Politically Correct'; and start being 'Real Politicians'. And what might that entail? Well, being 'Politically Correct' might be a start, but that's not whats 'required'. The 'real Requirement' is a complete 'understanding' of the 'Nature' of a 'Political Entity'; what drives 'it' into its 'Realization'; and the 'most important aspect' is a 'complete understanding' of the 'constitutive part' played by all the 'Real People' at the 'Bottom of the Entity'. Of course, a Political Entity is just a Political Entity. Its a Man-Made construction. Its not a part of 'Nature'. No matter how necessary 'getting together' might be, its a 'Political construction' and its created by Humans. It begins 'small', like 'Friends', 'Groups', 'Families', 'Tribes', 'Indian Nations', 'States', 'Nations' or 'Countries', and finally, maybe, even, into a 'United Nations'. What began as 'were all in the Same Boat', evolves into 'were all on the 'Same Planet'. That evolution is inevitable. 'Behind' the 'Condition of Togetherness' of such 'enlarging Entities', is always a 'Genuine Intention' coupled with a 'Genuine Sincerity' to 'hold together' as a 'Collective Identity'. That 'Intention' and that 'Sincerity' is what 'Drives' a 'Genuine Politician'. Political Correctness is a vacuous, empty, wish for the 'Political Power' inherent in 'Political Office' without the 'genuine selflessness' and 'Genuine Knowledge' required of a 'Genuine Politician. A Real Politician knows that the only 'Political Power' there is, is the 'Power' that is 'inherent' in the 'Real People' in their 'Condition of Togetherness' at the 'Bottom' of the 'Political entity'. That Power is 'transferred' by means of the 'Vote' to the 'Top' of the 'Political Entity', for the 'duration of Office'. No human Being can 'Govern' or 'Rule' another unless 'Institutionally' permitted and only for the 'duration of Office'. 'All Human beings' are 'Politically Free and Equal', and hence 'Governing' is the 'establishment and guidance' of the 'Real People' who live in 'Freedom and Equality'. There is 'no other Reason' for the existence of 'Democratic Government' and a Politician serving in Office' in such a Government, should serve the People 'Intentionally and Sincerely' and not just 'Politically Correct'. Where are the Real Politicians?

No One can 'drive' a 'Democratic Political Entity' with only a 'Capitalistic Motor'.

No One can 'drive' a 'Democratic Political Entity' with only a 'Capitalistic Motor'. The'Two Activities' are entirely 'different' from each other and each requires 'energizing' by 'its own' Separate Motor. Of course, the Economy is energized by the 'Capitalistic Motor' and the Democratic Political Entity is energized by 'Freedom and Equality' of 'Each and Every' 'Real Individual' at the Bottom of the Political Entity. Governing Democratically does not require 'Profits', but a successful Capitalistic endeavor does. In a Democracy both are essential but they cannot be 'inextricably mixed' or 'misused'. So, why do these Two Basic Impulses' or 'drives' get so entangled? One 'Reason' is that the 'Economy', in general, is very 'Lopsided' and 'Unbalanced'. For example, the Economy established 'Business Corporate entities' or, 'Legal Fictions', that function as 'Persons', and 'who' get 'Legal Protection' from the 'Courts' and the 'Constitution'. No 'Real Human Being' can compete with a 'Legal fiction'. Its too 'Big to Fail'. The 'Economic Grasp' of the Corporation is 'huge' and if an 'Important Corporation' is failing, it merely gets help from the Government. Not to mention, that if a 'Corporate Person' is not making enough 'Profits', it can be 'dissolved' and another is 'created' and is given a 'Different Name' and basically 'continues its existence'; a kind of 'Immortality'. But how can it continue its existence? simple, it has the 'Same Owners', or Family Members as did the defunct one. No 'Real Human Being' can compete with that; nor with the 'cumulative Results' of such a 'Continuation'. A successful 'Business Corporation' can exist for over 300 yrs. A 'Business Corporation' has an 'Incomparable Economic Grasp' and, too boot, 'Economic Immortality'. The Political problems arise when Billionaires, Millionaires, the Rich get into Political Office and try to 'drive' a 'Political Entity' with 'Business Principles' or a 'Business Motor', instead of a 'Political Motor' involving Democratic Principles. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politicians are necessary because they can 'Influence' the Components and Structure of the Social.

Politicians are necessary because they can 'Influence' the 'Components' and the 'Institutional Structure' of the 'Social'. Most other Professionals are concerned with 'smaller Components' of the Social, e.g. Medical, Legal, Business, Familial and other 'Institutional aspects' of the Social. Notice that I call them 'Professional'. And so they should be, because they 'can help pass laws' controlling the use of Firearms, medicines, Familial Relations, and 'many other aspects' of the Social. 'Politics' is an important 'function' of the 'Political Entity' and its 'Political Appendages'. Hence, in a Democracy, politicians should be well-versed in the Institutional make-up of the Social and the 'things necessary' to keep 'Democracy viable'. In other words, Politicians should be knowledgeable in the differences in 'Autocratic' and 'Democratic' Political Entities. Business Corporations function very much like Autocracies Function. Of course, there are differences, but, nevertheless, a Business Corporation has one purpose for existing, as does an Autocracy. The Business Corporation exists to make a 'profit' and an Autocracy exists to 'Rule' the Political Entity. Neither functions Otherwise. Hence, it is important for Politicians to be knowledgeable in both arenas. In a Democracy, we don't need Individuals in 'Political Positions' who are merely concerned with 'Making a Profit', 'Self-Inflation', or 'Self-Aggrandizement'. We need knowledgeable Politicians who can appreciate the difference and who can 'make a difference' in a Democracy. Of course, that's the the 'danger' of having a so-called 'Politician' who is 'more Businessman' and 'less Politician'. When the Top of Power is operated as a Business, that is 'not a Democratic Government', its a 'Powerful Machine' being used for 'advantage', 'Self Perpetuation' and 'Self-Aggrandizement'. 'Democracy' can never be 'viable' in a 'Governmental Entity' operated with 'Business Principles'. In such cases, 'Democratic Principles' die and 'Autocratic Principles' Rule. Where are the Real Politicians?

Is it too demanding for a Politician to be 'Altruistic'? Why do we have Politicians?

Is it demanding to much for Politicians to be Altruistic? What other 'motive' should a 'Public Official' have and why do we have Politicians? Politics is the most difficult discipline in the World because it requires a 'certain kind' of 'selflessness' and great efforts in the establishment of 'Social' and 'Political' Entities that benefits the 'Whole Bottom' viz. the real Individuals at the Bottom. That's the source of all 'Power' in a 'Democracy'. At the same time this discipline should benefit the 'Strength and Power' of the Political Entity as 'Political Entity' in the World. Of course, Political Offices 'earn' a pretty high Salary; they are not serving 'gratuitously'. Of course they won't get Rich from their Salary. But, if 'Service' in a Democracy, is not the Goal of a Politician, why not do something else? After all, Politics 'is a Service'. Certainly, one way to 'World Recognition' and 'Respect' is through Political Office. But, not all human 'motivations' are 'honest' and 'above board'. Here, of course, we could discuss different Political Systems and how they 'function'. Autocracies are expected to function as Autocracies. But, our concern is 'Democracy' in a Democracy. One very important 'factor' is not so much the 'Autocratic Attitude', in a Real political sense, but an honest 'Business Attitude', i.e., a motivation arising from having being a 'successful Businessman'. As we have already pointed out, the 'Business Engine' in 'Capitalism' is very 'different' from the 'Political Engine' in a Democracy. The Business Engine is energized by 'More and More of the same', or Money, or, if you like, Greed. But, the Political Engine in a Democracy is energized by the 'Freedom and Equality' of 'each and every' 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom' of the 'Political Entity'. I say, 'Real Individual' at the 'Bottom', because I cannot include 'Corporations' that are 'Legal Fictions', 'not' 'Real Persons', and that received their 'protection' from the Supreme Court. Here, then is a Social Problem. A 'Real genuine attitude', arising 'from success' in 'Capitalistic Activity', imperceptibly, 'slipping into' Democratic Government as an 'Aspect of Freedom and Equality' of Real Individuals... a complete infusion of 'More and more of the same', or Greed, into the 'Social Fabric' of 'Freedom and Equality' of 'Real Human Beings'. A 'Genuine Political Motivation' of 'Freedom and Equality', 'overcome', 'inextricably', by 'Business Motivation', 'Greed', that leads us into a 'Social' that 'Divides' and 'Defines' us as 'Haves' and 'Have-nots'. The 'Sad' part is that the arising of the 'Haves' stems from the 'protection' of the 'Corporation' as a 'Legal Fiction' created by the 'Supreme Court. 'Surrealism' has truly taken over. Where are the Real Politicians?

Politics is, or should be, an 'Altruistic Discipline'; Corporate Business is 'Dictatorial' in 'Nature'.

Politics is, or, 'should be' an 'Altruistic Discipline'; Corporate Business is 'Dictatorial' in 'Nature'. Of course, not all Politicians are Altruistic; and that's only one of its problems. The same applies to the Corporate World. There are many different kinds of Corporate Structures. Some serve an altruistic endeavor, such as 'Charitable Corporations'. But, a 'Business Corporation' is 'Incorporated' for the purpose of operating a 'Profitable Business' and to make 'lots of Money'. The 'Corporate Nature' gives it an 'Incomparable' Economic 'Size and Grasp'. The Huge 'Corporate World' is a 'Business World'. It's 'Motored' by 'More and More' of the 'Same'. 'Money and Profits'. It 'also has no other Reason' for existing. The reason it doesn't have 'any Other Reason' for existing is because it was 'not Given' any 'Social Duties'. It was only given a 'Huge Size', and a 'Motor' to generate 'More and More ' of the 'Same', to wit; 'Huge Profits'. Hence, it can also be said that a 'Big Business Corporation' is motored by 'Greed'. No Profits, no Corporation. Its difficult to determine why a 'Successful Businessman' would want to become a Successful Politician. The 'basic impulse' of the Business World is to make a Profit. While the Basic impulse of a Political Entity is to Govern all the 'Real People' at the 'Bottom'. In a 'Political Entity', constituted as a 'Democracy', the 'Individuals' at the 'Top with Power', are only 'Representatives' of the 'Bottom', the 'Real Source of Power' and they serve only for a 'While'. A 'Dictator' or 'Autocrat' serves for as long as He or She can 'Survive' and 'until' He or She, is 'Toppled'. The 'Problem' that arises in a 'Democracy' motored by a 'Business-Person' is His or Her 'reliance' on 'Business Principles', which can only strive for 'More and More' of the 'same'. Where is the Altruism? There is no Altruism, only the 'Greedy Pursuit' of 'Money' and its 'Redistribution'. The Rich get Richer and the poor get Poorer. Where are the Real Politicians?

The Problem with Business principles is that they have little to do with Governing Principles.

The Problems with 'Business Principles' is that they have little to do with 'Democratic Governing Principles'. Most Business Principles are motivated with 'Monetary Schemes' that deal with 'correcting something' in order to make 'more Money'. Lately, there have been References to New Retirement Plans. Sure, Individuals will now have more Retirement Plans available, but these Individuals are 'already employed' and even then they will have to 'have been employed' for a few years to be Eligible. How is that helping the 'unemployed'? There's even talk about these new changes 'effecting' Individuals who have already 'earned' their Social Security. How about the Unemployed. How about correcting Economic Injustices for the Poor? How is Governing being improved by ignoring the Individuals that really need Economic help? The Poor will remain Poor and the needy will remain needy and the uninsured will remain uninsured. So, why isn't Government attempting to 'Govern' the Many at the Bottom by creating opportunities for the Unemployed, the Uninsured, the Homeless, the 'Young Individuals' that will have to live in a 'Social' motored by 'Economic Plutocratic Principles', instead of the 'Democratic' principles of 'Freedom and Equality'. There is no 'Personal Freedom' in a 'Social' constituted with 'Business Corporations' that are always the 'Employers' who 'use' the 'Real Individuals' as 'Employees'. The 'Social' is composed of Debtors and Creditors. A recent Book by Maurizio Lazzarato, 'The Making of the Indebted Man' claims that Society 'intensifies mechanisms of exploitation and Domination'. Certainly, Business has its proper place in the Social. But, the Bottom line is that Business Principles cannot Govern . They can and do 'exploit the Social' at the Expense of Real Individual 'Freedom and Equality'. Business Corporations need more Democratic Duties. They are protected as 'Legal Fictions' but they have no 'Democratic Duties'. As Legal Fictions they can also be required to have 'Democratic Duties' like you and I. A Corporation should be thankful for its 'Democratic Arising' and should 'exist' more 'Democratically'. 'Greed' should not be its sole 'Economic Function'. After all, they are Protected as 'Persons' by the Constitution...... Where are the Real Politicians?

A 'Political Social' is composed of 'Real Individuals' and 'Legal Fictions'.

A 'Political Social' is composed of 'Real Individuals' and 'Legal Fictions'. The 'Real Individuals' are expected to participate in the 'Democratic Process' of 'Politics'; be 'Law abiding'; and 'Good Citizens' while living in a Democratic Society. In other words they are Free and Equal but they also have duties as Citizens. Any violation of Civil Law or Criminal Law by 'Real Individuals' or 'Real Persons' is expeditiously punished in accordance with Law. The 'Business Corporation' is a 'Legal Fiction', i.e. 'not Real', but considered a 'Person' withing the 'meaning of the Constitution' and hence entitled to 'legal Protection' as if a 'Real Person'. Hence, the Corporate Structure is 'protected' by the Constitution, 'as if it was Real', but is not given any 'Social Duties' as a 'Fictional Person'. In other words, its considered as a Person to be Protected but it is not considered as a 'Person with Social Duties' that allows it to live in the Democracy that has 'created it'. The effect of this 'lop sided grant' of 'Protections' is not balanced with 'Duties for Living' and 'existing' in the Democratic Social that gave it its 'Person-Hood'. Real Individuals have duties in a Democracy, they have to be Good Citizens, good 'Workers', employees, Tax payers, etc., but 'Corporate Persons' or 'Fictions' have 'Protections', as Real Individuals do, but 'no 'Duties', or 'obligations' as Citizens, for the privilege of existing as 'Real Persons' in a 'Democracy'. Some make Billions in Profits but, pay no taxes. They are 'Huge Incorporated Legal Fictions' with no 'Social Obligations'. They 'function' as 'Profit Making Machines' that establishes a Social that emphasizes 'Profits', and helps create 'Social Classes'. If Corporations are going to function in the Social as 'Profits Machines', they also need 'Social Duties'. To create a 'Legal Fiction' that only makes 'Profits', unbalances the Economy and creates a Social 'controlled by Business Principles' and 'not Political Principles'. We need Political Principles to Drive a Political Entity. 'Business' and 'Profits' cannot drive a 'Political Entity'. Where are the Real Politicians?

When Business Principles 'Overcome' a Democracy, 'Greed' and 'Ego' becomes the 'Motor' of that Democracy.

When 'Business Principles' 'overcome' a 'Democracy', 'Greed' and 'Ego' becomes the 'Motor' of that Democracy. The result is a Democracy 'motored' by 'Business Principles' and 'Personality'. That is not a 'Government of Freedom and Equality'. The purpose of Democratic Government is a Government 'of the People', 'by the People' and, most important, 'For the people'. Its really very simple. One Principle is the basis of the Business mentality whose goal is survival by 'Profits and Size', and the Other is the Power of 'Governing' for the purpose of establishing 'Social Institutions' of 'Freedom and Equality' for the 'Bottom' of a 'Democratic Political Entity'. That happens to be the 'Real Source' of 'Political Power'. If a Political Entity has power at the Top, one must always ask from where does it get Power? 'In a Democracy', there is no 'other way' to transfer Power to a 'Political top'. All 'Political Tops' with Power must get that Power from 'somewhere'. That's the inception of all Political Systems. Some inherited Power from 'who knows where', others got power by 'force', and some 'still depend' on the 'Left-over Aura' of the 'Divine Right of Kings'. But, our concern is with 'Democratic Governing'. If a Political Entity claims to be a Democracy, then it has to be a 'Representative Democracy' that gets its 'Political Power' from the People at the Bottom. But, that is a Political principle, not a Business Principle. When the 'Business Mentality' creeps into Democracy, Freedom and Equality flies out the Window. 'So-called Democracies' transform into 'Plutocracies', 'Oligarchies', or just plain 'Autocracies' or 'Dictatorships'. 'Government and Governing' is 'Over' and 'Rule begins'. When Rule begins its 'more and more of the same' and 'make America great Again'. Where are the Real Politicians?

'Governing' with 'Business Principles' can destroy 'Democracy'.

Governing with 'Business Principles' can destroy Democracy. Why? Because 'Business' is motored by the 'energy of Profits' and 'democracy' is motored by the 'Energy' of 'Freedom and Equality'. No Corporate 'Business' continues to exist if its not making 'Profits'. 'More and More' of the 'Same', or Money, leads to Autocracy, Plutocracy or Oligarchy and that is Government 'of the Few', 'by the Few', and 'For the Few'. Democratic Governing is the establishment of Social Institutions and Laws that permits the 'People at the Bottom' to live and express their 'Freedom and Equality'. But, there's always a few People at the Bottom who establish 'Huge Corporations' to conduct Economic Businesses with them. This creates an 'Economic Imbalance' in the 'Social' and at the 'Bottom' because a 'Real Human Person' cannot compete with a Huge 'Economic Corporate Entity' defined by the Supreme Court as also 'a Person' ( known as a Legal Fiction and that only exists in contemplation of Law) that is, in fact, 'not' a 'Real Human Person'. The 'Social' becomes 'Peopled' by 'Real People', like You and I, and by 'Legal Fictions' protected by the Constitution, and that only exist 'in contemplation of Law'. It wont take long for the Real Human Beings to realize that in a 'Corporate Society', the Real Individual is the 'Employee' and the 'Corporation' is the 'Employer'. Today, Now, 'Legal Fictions' set the 'momentum' for Economic Activity which creates a 'Social Cleavage' and 'sets standards' between 'Employers and Employees', 'Haves' and 'Have-nots, 'Owners and Workers' in the Social. This Social Phenomena creates 'impressions' of 'Divisions' in the 'Real Human Condition' that are not real, and huge 'accumulations' of 'value and money' that creates impressions of being 'motored' by 'Greed'. When 'Fictional Economic Entities', sets standards of 'economic duality', of success/failure, of haves and have-nots; they are also setting standards that create 'divisions' in the 'Human Condition', the 'Equality' of the 'Human Condition', and the Freedom in the Human condition. When a 'Corporate Society' overlays a 'Democratic Social' the 'Real Individuals' in the Social can 'lose' their 'Freedom and Equality'. Business is a necessary Part of every Society, it can produce 'Lots', but it 'cannot Drive' a Democracy. Freedom and Equality 'cannot' be attenuated or 'Divided'. You either have it or you don't. Where are the Real politicians?

Government must return to a 'Real activity' of Governing.

Government must return to the 'Real Activity' of 'Governing'. The only purpose for the existence of a 'Governing Entity' is for the purpose of Governing the 'Many' or 'the People' that 'Constitute it' as an 'Organized Political Entity'. After all, its the 'Bottom' that 'transfers its Power' as 'Free and Equal Real Individuals', by means of the Vote, to the Top. A Top cannot just 'arbitrarily assign to itself' the 'Political power' to Rule, 'the Many Real Individuals', at the Bottom. But, once the Top acquires its 'Political Form' or 'Identity', it does all it can to retain that 'Identity'. Of course, that gives rise to all the different Forms of Government that exist. But the basic Form of all Governments is 'Power at the Top' and 'People at the Bottom'. 'Without some Form of Government, a 'Bottom' becomes 'disorganized' and slips into a 'Condition of Chaos'. The more Chaotic the Bottom becomes; the more it needs Government, any Form of Government. But, Government should not Exist to make 'Profits', because it is not a 'Business', 'nor' to 'arbitrarily' exercise 'Power' over the 'Real Individuals' at the Bottom. By the same token, 'already established Democracies' should not be 'Governed' with 'business Principles'. A 'Business Mentality' cannot Govern a Democracy. We need Real Politicians at the Helm. A democratic Government can only 'Govern'. It has no other purpose for existing. Autocracies, Plutocracies, Oligarchies, and Kingdoms 'Rule'; they 'do not' Govern. But, because of their 'essential Political Form', they do not emphasize 'Freedom and Equality' of the Real Individual at the Bottom. 'Rulers' are 'already Rich' at the Top and they will not hesitate to 'increase their Riches' as Business Corporations must also do, in order to survive. Autocracies; Plutocracies; and Oligarchies, will always protect their Political 'Status-Quo'. Consequently, the 'first step' in a 'return' to 'Real Governing' with 'Political principles' and 'not Business Principles' is to replace the existing 'Business Mentality' with a 'Real Political Mentality'. But, for that, we need a 'Real Politician'. Where are the Real Politicians?
