Democratic Lessons to be Learned by watching the World’s Most Advanced Society

Want to get rid of corruption? Want to have a Democratic nation in the eyes of the world? This is so simple to do just follow the leader.

This is a golden time for the ambitious to step forward. Want to increase your family fortune a hundred fold politics is the answer. Only one U.S. president went into office from a simple wooden house and left office with the same assets, no increase in wealth obviously one does not want to follow his example.

In modern times a new political model has emerged. Populist rich businesspersons have always been the favorite candidate. But new ones have gone through a major change. This change is built on the Written Word the Law. The law has become God and judgment of right and wrong, sorry no grey or middle road allowed. Armed with the Written Word all actions are legitimized.

A modern populist leader today is not only a successful businessperson but is armed with the written word. The best example today is Senator Tobacco. Senator Tobacco made his beginning millions from class action law suits against American corporations. The victims after splitting the spoils may have gotten a few pennies. Bravo, a successful young politician is born.

But this politician has a competitive advantage over just a successful businessman. This politician has a law degree which is king of all Written Word. Not too long ago the U.S. graduated so many lawyers that even the fast food industry had enough employees. Then came the ultimate politician with a mass influx from the legal field to the political arena. Presto, a star is born the perfect politician a political leader armed with the Written Word the ability to craft laws that are so air tight the politician will not legally be liable for any actions taken.

A simple example from the great state of North Carolina, the opportunity was how do you create a business opportunity to take advantage of the working class poor and not be charged with Federal loan sharking crimes. The lawyer politician creates loopholes to bypass the maximum legal interest rate charges of 30% into 300% by creating a legal paycheck advance company legally able to charge 300%. Now you may ask why was not 30% already enough? The answer is No, basic economics states time has a value in more points than just time or time is money. The lawyer politician in order to stay a populist and popular among the poor must be able to create loopholes that generate large sums of money quickly and then close the loopholes just as quickly when it becomes unpopular in order to stay a populist.

Example number two. Insider information is a great tool for the master of the Written Word. Undisclosed Hedge Funds by its very definition is secretive and thus not legally liable. The Master of the Written Word is able to make millions from the Undisclosed Funds and then quickly come out to the public condemning Undisclosed Funds and promises to close this loophole in the law. Because after all the Master of the Word cannot afford his maid to be able to take advantage of Undisclosed Hedge Funds. The Master would have no one to clean his house since it is the size of a small city. At the same time you eliminate any competitor that may want to join your exclusive country club. The Master must point out to the public that at the time of his involvement the Undisclosed Hedge Funds were perfectly legal and because he is a saint will now close this evil loophole.

How will History judge you? This is not even a concern. History is written by victors and then burned and rewritten by successive new victors. This is why the world is round. But what happens if you write the Master of all Words “that all men are created equal and free”. Do not worry, be happy, you will have at least two hundred years to live up to those words before doing anything about it and then you can grow up to be a super power preaching to the rest of the world how corrupt and undemocratic they are.  Because you have become Master of the Word that has eliminated corruption letting Democracy flourish. If you do make a mistake in your Written Word do what the CIA does burn and shred the word or is it first shred and then burn. By destroying the Written Word it never existed and your sainthood is assured.

The answers to the beginning questions are simple. Become Master of the Written Word the Law by becoming a lawyer first and then a politician, only then will your Democracy become legitimized in the eyes of the world. By becoming a Master of the Written Word the Law you can open and close legal loopholes to your heart’s content and even win debates. In fact, you can totally redefine the meaning of corruption. Forget about the colour grey and the Middle Road, it’s much too broad and confusing to stand up to the detailed analysis required by the Masters of the Written Word the Law.
