The problem with targeting the bottom in any governmental system is that it does not accurately situate the entire system. In other words, such targeting excludes the top and a government has a top and a bottom. I do not exclude the top, I include the top as constituted by the same Constitution that constituted the bottom. It is within this context that we can talk about real democracy. Criticism can be as lopsided as the government being criticized.

If one aspect of a government, lets say the bottom, is functioning incorrectly, the whole government is functioning incorrectly. Hence, we must address the underlying aspects of the government as a complete structure.
