If we were to do away with all politicans because of all the corruption, who do you want to run the country.?

Question

I asked a question yesturday about democcrats, and republicans, one of the answers I got was we as a country don't need politicians running this country.. OK let's go with that, if that were the case, who would you have run this country. Now I don't want the simpleton liberal answer, "let the people run the country. Explain that, what dose that mean

Answer 1

Well, the country is too large to run a direct democracy, that fact must be put out there. Sure, you could try, but it would be agonizingly slow, especially if most of the country didn't understand what they were supposed to do, which, unfortunately, they probably don't.

That's why the United States has a representative democracy, or a republic. Basically, we vote in who we want to represent us with majority rule, and I believe we should keep it that way. Yes, it's slow, and can become corrupt, but you can't eliminate corruption. The thought of doing that is grand and all, but to eliminate corruption you would have to breed out emotions basically, because everyone has their own biases. They may not consider them biases, but they are.

Basically, if someone can legally run for public office, I believe they should at least think of maybe trying. I plan on running for my district's house seat when I am legally able to. I'll probably fail the first few times, but I'd learn from my mistakes each kind. I just wish people would stop complaining that this is too corrupt and not do anything about it, like running themselves.

Answer 2

People, chosen at random, paid $ 17.50 an hour with only Medicare A & B, and not allowed to vote in local and national elections.

Right now over 55% of voters are either working for, or supported by, the various city, county, state, federal, governments. How do you suppose they vote on issues involving government expansion ? Reality time?

Answer 3

Check this answwer out. Philosophers. At least these people can think with logic, and understand logically what's best for the Us interests as a whole and not self absorb, selfish interests. This would totally end the corruptions. But then again, who's to say that every power hungered people isn't going to be corrupted either.

Answer 4

Football coaches. Especially if they could explain things on the TV with the markers that John Madden uses. That would rock.

Answer 5

I belive Emerson once said that "The state should wither away with the full moral devlopment of man" This is basically trusting people to be responsible.

But thats very idealistic.

Answer 6

Well, we need our Representatives/politicians but we really need to hold them accountable. People have not been doing that and just following the party is not enough-we need to make sure they're doing what we want and what they said they would! Check their votes here:
