In case anyone missed it the first couple of times. Here it is again: <!worth repeating!..."Having the individual own the state instead of the reverse would be a great improvement in the human condition. The democracies are sort of part way there. Unfortunately, most people are not engineers, unlike the rulers of China, and neither are the politicians, so the democratic world is run badly." >
Here's the slogan - Tradable Citizenship rulz ok, so that we remember what it's about.
Once we own Tradable Citizenships we will do as we do with other things in our lives and hire people who know what they are doing to run them. So, we hire doctors to fix our bodies, we hire plumbers to put lead in our water pipes, we hire electricians to put wiring in our houses, we hire Toyota mechanics to fix our Toyotas and oil companies to design and produce lubricants. We would stop hiring lawyers to come up with ways to redistribute the wealth to themselves and their supporters and we'd start hiring people who know how things work. Engineers are a good start because at least they are science based, rational [for the most part], understand there are causes and effects, and have some brains.
China has figured it out and has a bunch of engineers in charge. For all his faults, Jiang Zemin was at least an engineer. Same with Hu Jintao. The Nanny-State kleptocratic democracies have lawyers and school teachers, and the like.
Lawyers have a sense of entitlement and use laws to get money away from people. They have a zero-sum mentality and science befuddles them. [Stereotypically you understand, but some of my best friends are lawyers so they are okay]. Democracies tend to hire lawyers to run governments.
