A Democratic Nation is a 'political entity'; a Capitalistic economy is an 'economic entity'.
A Democratic Nation or Government is a political entity. A Capitalistic economy is an economic entity. Each is driven by a different 'engine'. In other words, freedom and equality drives a democratic political entity: Democratic Governments govern and are required to protect the Freedom and Equality of each and every real Individual. Governing does not relate to economic holdings or economic classes. Everyone is governed 'equally' and 'fairly'. The sole function of a democracy is to Govern in a 'democratic manner'. An Economy cannot be 'motored' by Freedom and Equality. It is motored by Profits and that is a form of 'inequality'. When Individuals compete with each other; its to make a 'bigger profit' than the 'Other'. Economic competition involves a certain 'inequality of striving'; some Individuals have more money than others and competition is usually very unequal. To add to this 'natural inequality', the Government Entity creates corporations, i.e., legal Fictions that only exist in 'contemplation of Law'. Even the Law knows and accepts them as Legal Fictions, i.e., they are not 'real Human Beings'. Nevertheless, the Courts gives them the same basic 'Rights' that real individuals have under the Constitution; they even get to 'contribute' to the political process. How 'Unequal' can you get? The Law; the Courts; create much of the inequality that exists in the Democratic social. They create economic corporations that have a 'huge economic grasp' and then, taxes them, by the 'same standard' that a 'real human Being', who works and labors everyday. Of course, business corporations are necessary to create a 'high standard' or a 'healthy standard' of living. Fine. But, since they are considered 'fictional entities', why can't they be given more democratic 'conditions for existing', like a 'higher tax bracket'; a bracket that reflects more accurately their 'increased economic grasp'. After all, they don't have a 'real family' to house, raise, educate and feed and to protect against sickness. They're pure, abstract, economic institutions, namely, Fictions. A Capitalistic Economy cannot 'drive' a Democratic Nation. it can create a 'healthy economy' in a Democratic Nation, but it can't drive it. Corporations must assume their proper place; as merely, 'Fictions' in a Capitalistic economy that must function more Democratically.
