That is a total Republican answer from beginning to end. Politics is democracy, and democracy is politics. And you are suggesting a primitive religious answer to our social needs? You think the Torah is better than social security, medicare, unemployment, etc? How does that differ from the evangelical Republicans? Wharf: <<Politics (democracy) and social science are the very foundation of our modern humanitarian society." Politics is killing democracy, and the social non-sciences have given us the Laffer Curve and the tools to sell the it to the public. "Before we had the modern social safety net, life was hell for people and mostly old females who too often lived in abject poverty". The Torah has laws about how to care for old females in poverty, and they was prolly stolen from somebody, Social scientists weren't involved. Cheap and abundant energy powering American industry had more to do with raising living standards than anything else.
