Why Democracies Fail
Have you ever wondered why democracies fail? Wonder no longer. Here are the reasons why a democracy fails.
- Most people are stupid, don't care, or think they can not make a difference.
- Most politicians have power and money. Power corrupts. Money corrupts too. Most politicians want even more money and power. Therefore, most politicians are corrupt or corruptible.
- Most big businesses have a lot of money. Money buys power. Politicians have power. Money buys politicians. Most big businesses try buying politicians. Hence, most big businesses are evil.
- Fortunately, democracies are the only form of government that allows a peaceful transfer of power from one set of leaders to the next. Unfortunately, the main problem with democracies is that the next leaders are probably more of the same.
