Take team USA actions in destroying it's middle class as example, does the middle class have capability n capacity to exercise any freedom to escape the depravity?
Take Team Bejing, indifferent to the massive losses of life that occur each year in Chinese Mines.. All because the Chinese government won't implement the most basic of safety measures.
China's mines are the deadliest in the world, with more than 2,600 people killed in coal mine accidents in 2009 alone. The country's lax safety rules and enormous demand for coal to power its economy have contributed to high casualties.

According to one source, in 2003 China accounted for the largest number of coal-mining fatalities, accounting for about 80% of the world’s total, although it produced only 35% of the world’s coal.

So you build all your "Ivory Towers" there in HK, Shanghai, and Bejing, all powered by poor Chinese peasants who are nothing more than economic pawns who die for your benefit.
I can understand having them use picks and shovels so you can maximize the employment factor. But mine safety is mine safety.. Ventilation, and dust reduction, are technologies that are indispensable for preventing the numerous mine disasters that occur in China.

I have never desired the right to vote, and frankly I do not wish to have other folks vote out of ignorance
You seem to have this inane belief that a non-democratic society is less corrupt, or that it's more efficient, than a democratic society.
The only difference is that in a TRULY democratic society the pervasive corruption that occurs everyday has a more difficult time hiding their crimes from the public.
In China the leaders ARE the criminals (with a few, rare, exceptions, and those soon come under the thumb of the criminals).
