LOL! Well said. That's just about the alpha and omega of it, in brief. Unlike the founders of this nation, the current crop of politicians seem to think that the more power and money they get, the better off we ALL are. The former philosophy worked. The latter has been tried in many parts of the world, with disastrous results, but it keeps getting bailed out, for it serves politicians all too well.

>>>>So in a democracy each candidate makes their case to the people and the people elect the one they think will take from others to give to them.<< So give me your alternative to democracy. Additionally, who knows for sure, but if you think Keynsian economis is a fringe idea, I have news for you. It is the theory most widely taught in universities. So I guess only you have the "right answer". I admit, a minority view like yours, even if correct, does have trouble finding an audiance in a democracy; and that is a flaw.
