Why is it any lesser with a representative. A single man or woman alone can if anything win more unearned votes than a company could persuade from people. The fact is they don't have to give you any facts about what they're doing they don't have to apologize for past wrongs or even cover them up. BP for instance has a honorable reputation near the coast now and almost no one in that area would vote on legislature that allows them to bypass regulations for drills but a representative who supported them could simply not mention them in his election and after that he has power. As an objectivist I believe that no man should hinder or have power of another. I definitely do agree that not all votes should be equal or even allowed honestly I really don't think sex offenders should be allowed to vote on school hours or a man out of prison be allowed to vote on taxes towards law enforcement.

Take a knife to a gunfight and stab them while they're laughing. Muslim terrorists hold the belief that if they die in a war for God they will go to paradise regardless of past actions. Convince them that Americans hold nothing against Islam and they will have a much harder time recruiting albeit it's a bit too late for that now that we've entered a full on war.

It may not be communistic yet and I'm in no way accusing this of being the fault of just one person. The government we currently have is a mixture of socialism and capitalism welfare is a very communistic idea. In fact our taxes in general are communistic and yes you can say they go to our defense but honestly how much of the military defends America when compared to how much attempts to force our ideals on other countries. That money that you're paying is funding wars that hurt you we're buying our financial ruin. The other percentages pay for representatives in a day and age where we could easily accommodate a direct democracy. A good portion of the population is connected in some way to the internet be it smart phone or email. Our taxes pay for your state representative to fly home on the weekends from Washington they go to your neighbor who figured out as long as he stays unemployed the government will [pay him for not working. That money comes from you. There is even a tax on owning a company. We're not there yet but we're on a path towards it.

read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Ryand and if you still think a school that doesn't have to be passed is a good idea then the fact that people like you actually exist terrifies me. Life will not be okay because they will be just as incompetent. You are rewarding the inept and giving the intellectuals no reason to think. That does not make life for anyone okay.

the problem with America when compared to China is not necessarily that they're smarter it's that they will work cheaper and longer. America if it wants to ever resurface as a respectable power would have to drop the notion that physical labor is evil. Some people simply don't need to go to school for half of their working lives if they don't want to learn. We need to break the notion that 42,000 a year is not a respectable pay because our workforce now is full of people who feel like they have a bad job. How can you do a quality job when you feel like you failed when for many people in other countries your job would be considered a huge success. We don't need any more supervisors and managers we need someone for them to manage. Ask yourself why an apprenticeship is a reality TV show today when it's a great idea. It's better for a child who wants to build houses to learn about materials, their respective costs, and geometry specialized construction than be able to list the life cycle of a cell. Public education is wrong because you're saying that all children will be the same thing when they grow up and that's what kids today are attempting to do. They all have to be lawyers, CEO s, or doctors and many will fail and give up on the way. And please no one say that you can't know what you want to be when you're ten because most of us bend our dreams to fit our culture and end up regretting it on our death beds.

2 of which Americans are 14.3 trillion dollars in debt to because they have more self control than us. You can't say that a country is evil because they disagree with democracy. Communism can be very efficient so long as you're working towards a cause that everyone believes in. In fact many would argue America has communist aspects primarily welfare. The idea behind communism is very benevolent as well. It's a community of people supporting every member. You do this in America when you pay taxes that go to people on welfare. The only difference in communism is that everyone is on welfare and all your money goes to welfare. This is appropriate in some places. I being an objectivist (take the time to look it up it's not what it sounds like) dislike the idea of serving a purpose in life other than pursuing my own happiness free of the burdens of others.

Religion is the monster under the bed that our parents tell us will devour us f we don't go to bed. It's necessary but it can't fill it's promises. How rarely do we see a man struck down after committing a sin. Moreover we're told that if we commit a sin we will go to purgatory unless we ask for forgiveness which is up to whoever can say they we're called by god to do a job. Americans are in the stage where the intellectuals are finally starting to see the necessity for going to sleep and not needing a scary monster to force them. They know they need the sleep and they know the monster isn't real, or doesn't effect them. Of course there are still remnants in the easily persuaded and That's scary. These people believe in the monster but their interpretation of its ideals are twisted. Basically, they base their sense of right and wrong on something that will forgive them as long as they listen to a man prattle about his personal thoughts once a week.

Is it really religion that is the problem or is it rather the diversity of religion. Religion gives humanity all of the improvements you described but because of our diversity our respective religions are at war with each other. Essentially its a clash of cultures based on interpretations of what is sadly not a credible source, I am referring to the collected gospels known as "the new testament." Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all feuding over this document that has changed millions of peoples lives yet hardly anyone questions where it came from. The gospels we know today we're formed around 40 years after the death of "Christ" but they were not written by his disciples but more over they were local interpretations of Jesus. It wouldn't be 200 years later until a bishop chooses those most beneficial to the church. Wars are started over sentence structure of this orally passed down document. I hold nothing against religion but it is similar to communism, looks great on paper but destroys what makes us human in application.
