The government has tax breaks to keep mom and pop businesses alive. Those same tax breaks are exploited by companies like Amazon so they can make $11.2 billion in profits and pay no taxes.
Then there's the other side of the coin. There are laws that prevent large corporations from monopolising the water supply. Those same laws prevent regular people from collecting a bucket of rainwater.
Either a mom and pop shop get a $10k per year tax break, and Amazon get a $10 billion per year tax break. Or no one gets a tax break.
Either you get a bucket of rain water and a large corporation gets a huge lake. Or no one gets water.
or you can make it so that the laws work the way they're supposed to. proper government is possible.
No. Massively centralised governments cannot gather enough information to make those laws without becoming corrupt in the process.
things currently aren't working because every politician is either jewish or bribed by jews, not because of some inherent flaw in human heirarchy and governance.
Democracy and bribery are not separate phenomena. They are integrally linked.
Then there's the other side of the coin. There are laws that prevent large corporations from monopolising the water supply. Those same laws prevent regular people from collecting a bucket of rainwater.
It gets worse. By the nature of representative democracy those laws will most likely be written by current or former employees of said corporation.
