EVIDENCE: SPEAK YOUR MIND

1. A political system is optimal not because it produces the policies that

you prefer. It produces the policies that much smarter people prefer.

I disagree, because a political system is optimal because it produces the

policies that everybody needs no matter what anyone prefers. On the other
hand, the policies that benefits to a nation are often product of the work of
the smartest scholars who use science to discover the needs of a nation.
Having said that, I think there is not an “ideal” political system and every
political system seen by human kind have always had failures.

2. The ideal system depends on the cultural attributes of the population.

The ideal system has to protect the education, the culture and the religion,
but be apart from them to take decisions. However, objectivity has to be the
main characteristic of an ideal system so things as religion and culture
shouldn’t be that important in taking decisions, for me the most important is
the education.

3. Individuals should be admitted to schools and hired for jobs based on

their ability.

Everyone’s right to education and work has to be preserved no matter their

ability or any other condition. Every person should be welcome to schools
and have the opportunity to apply for jobs; that kind of conditions allows and
promotes discrimination and rips our society from its very bases, and we
must not allow that to happen.

4. Unlike the private sector, the government is motivated by public

interest.

This is the ideal statement for a democratic nation nevertheless what we

see nowadays is a very different scene; everyday, senators, presidents,
mayors and other political actors are being imprisoned because of
corruption, embezzlement and many other embarrassing issues originated
of their own selfishness; the greed and interest in the role makes them lose
the real objective that is to work for the general good.
5. Taxes allow the government to create jobs and provide welfare
programs for people in need.

That’s right, taxes are annoying but necessary. Governments are continually
searching for additional funds to pay for the needs of their citizens,
businesses, and bureaucrats. At the local level, taxes support spending for
schools roads, libraries, athletic facilities, fire and police services, and the
salaries of county and municipal employees. Paying taxes is a way in which
society can contribute to the support of state activities aimed at the welfare
of society in general.

6. Governmental programs encourage people to become dependent and

lazy instead of inspiring them to become hard-working and
independent

Governmental programs do not encourage people to become dependent

and lazy, but a bad designed program does. Governmental programs need
to have conditions and requirements to assure the effectiveness of the help
given. The programs that give financial aid or so without any requirements
are useless. The important thing is to be inflexible with the fulfillment of
requirements so that the population can access these benefits.
