Public vs. Private

Governing is a difficult responsibility, especially with declining tax revenues and if the population does not understand the system, whether caused by gaps in the education curriculum or by errors in media pronouncements; rumors rather than facts fueling public opinions. The driving force in a free market economy is ideas; dreams that any citizen can become a leader, imagining that anyone can become a role model and thoughts that every employee can become an employer. Many in public service, an institution that runs on trepidation and nepotism, feel stuck with their ambitions shattered. Yet, these are the people that are empowered to implement policies and facilitate economic development and growth.

Defining Politics Clarification

Our most sincere apologies to all in the audience that have to exercise the mind, through the ranting of the document titled “Defining Politics”, some got it, others did not. These documents continue to be edited down to five hundred words, sometime removing large, complex and important sentences. The objective remains to reach and encourage a mass audience, of varying educational backgrounds, with an interest in understanding business and its surrounding issues. The publisher of these ideas has first rights, which means they edits and disseminates to all others, but the responsibility of the topics are solely ours.

Defining Politics

It is said, “Politics is about the distribution of power”. This maybe idealistic but in practice, is a necessary immorality and comfort for a fool. I believe that it is a control mechanism set out to divide the masses, using any means necessary so that the minority groupings with never have equal power, clearly discriminating against the individual and focusing to protect wealth. Many examples exist, in all types of political systems, to support this believe but it all comes down to the majority of wealth, to purchase influence.

No Politics Zone

Within the hallow chamber of the legislature, where laws are made giving effect to decisions of the executive, there must be no mention of political allegiance while debating issues that will affect the entire population. Party politics has it place and purpose, this having been done; brings on the serious work of building a society, which should be seen by all as an exchange of ideas to strengthen policies and programs, and to be above the attacks of party politics.

Wealthy Legacy

Wealth is more about power and influence than about being rich or having money. A popular joke says; a rich person gets paid a lot of money but a wealthy person signs that pay check. This implies that commitment, training, opportunity and sound financial management can and will make you rich. The joke also implies that one person can be wealthy. The truth however, is that all economic systems, presently in existence, rely on controlling the masses, by fear or by favor. That horrid knock on the door in the middle of the night, seizing all things of value, simply because you visibly have more than others, in some systems is not a crime.
