Did you forget the /sarcasm
Nothing has ever nor will ever remove the corruption from big government. It has been demonstrably present for 100s of years.
- HPsquared 3y agoSmall government, too. (by that I mean local)
- wolverine876 3y agoIn fact, corruption is greatly reduced by techniques such as democracy, a free press, transparency, etc. There's plenty of research to show it. It's like saying we'll never be rid of cancer; that's true, but the number of cancer deaths is greatly reduced. The choice isn't binary, 0% corrupt or 100% corrupt. The issue is where we fall on that scale. You are an unwitting agent of the corrupt by repeating the trope that we are powerless.
- Guthur 3y agoI'm sorry that's just not true. You are being too myopic in terms of when you look for evidence for that. Ancient Greece had democracy and ended up with an oligarchy, that's what happens.
- wolverine876 3y agoWhat you said doesn't conflict with what I said. Your attack on me only demonstrates you lack anything better to say. Just because something happened thousands of years ago doesn't mean it will happen now.
- Guthur 3y agoIt's not an attack on you mate, serious what is personal about it. I don't have to believe you to avoid hurting your feelings.
