I think hard worker people working for their love ones are,

and all the good things come from the private sector (tv,computer, cars, kitchen, camaras, food,house........and more).

But why some people and movies look like they want to politicians rule their lives and future.......? I cant hardly think a worst scenario...........

Politicians haven't the capacity to lead whole societies anywhere. They are outclassed and outrun by trends in the world economy that are beyond the ability of the political class to control or direct. The market economy—globalized, enormously powerful, breathtaking in scope and breadth—is remaking the world in ways that far surpass any existing political development in the US, from the crafted blather of Congressional hearings on this or that to the mad rush to grab the presidential brass rings.

To understand the world being recreated before us, we must constantly keep this principle in our mind: trade based on ownership is always and everywhere mutually beneficial. Within the institution of trade—whether on the most local level or the global level—we find the key to peace, prosperity, and human flourishing. If we understand this, we have no reason to fear our fate except to the extent that anyone anywhere dares to interfere. If we understand this, we can see why being led into the future by the political class is something we should neither desire nor expect.

  1. Try and knock in Exodus.

    Ask Moses.

    He has the answers waiting out there for centuries.

    But  no one seem to be passing by to knock.

    When everyone were busy in blindly following the dead Mummy of failures and horrors of the past from the graveyards of different ancestor's custom with idol worshiping in not worshiping God?


  2. The people are the leaders no matter the form of government. Most just don't know it. The establishment is geared towards maintaining the status quo at all costs. It has identified stakeholders who would loose if controlled growth is not coordinanted. Look at the consumer model. Marketing creates need then demand, sales of the product makes the temptation and rationale, reachable. The sales man has products and incentives that further commits the consumer to purchase a percieved need, based on how the product is equipped. The perfect example is the process of selling a car.  And so, captialism is the usual suspect and the masses are inundated with consumer directed advertising to get the consumer to part with their hard earned money.  The same could be said for the patient doctor relationship.  When a TV add has features and benefits of a new therapy, after wards the disclaimers are read like an auctioner; they tell you to ask your doctor.  And so, in all aspects of our lives we are sold and told what is best for our own circumstances.  

    The people who read and demonstrate reading comprehension have a chance to understand the less than plain speak around the markets, for example sub prime lending rates have the dow down by 200 points, Daimler has to pay $20 billion to buy out Chrysler because the investment banks are not going to put up the money. The latest report is that the banks will come up with $10 billion to see the deal through.  Well, step back and re-read that.  This was a lousy deal and Cerebus a private equity company is bailing out Chrysler, much like during the Iaccoca period in the early 80s.  The average "Joe" doesn't put two and two together to then realize that America is on a tipping point for another Depression. The most often used word is recession, and knowone wants to say it.

    So the answer to your question, is that most are ill informed, they want to believe their elected officials, but their allegience is to the businesses that bankroll them for office, first, and all else is a distant second. To be able to do what you infer, people need a better understanding of process in order to better understand events.  Their is a saying, power concedes nothing without demand. Until we see evidence of demand the political class will preserve it's advantage, likewise with the banking industry unions and management. At one time weather you agree or not Unions where a great example of the aforementioned old saying, but no more.
