I believe and I say it is true Democratic feeling, that all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
To take an analogy: if we say that a democratic government is the best kind of government, we mean that it most completely fulfills the highest function of a government - the realisation of the will of the people.
All the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
The democratic system is premised on trust in the masses' wisdom. We believe that the collective is wiser than its parts and that, at the end of the day, it shall make the right choices and take the right decisions.
I think that's most unfortunate about our Democratic system, that you're confining it to people who are either very wealthy in their own right or have capacity to gain access to large amounts of money.
I think the notion that we have all the democracy that money can buy strays so far from what our democracy is supposed to be.
The goal to strive for is a poor government but a rich people.
It has been true in Western societies and it seems to be true elsewhere that you do not find democratic systems apart from capitalism, or apart from a market economy, if you prefer that term.
Democrats believe that when more people vote, it's not just good for our party; it's good for democracy.
In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.
