If God and State are forced to be seperate, should not Capitalism and Politics be seperated as well. Why should wealth alone, media speticles with pritty faces and charm be the determinning factor in Politics or the person most willing to pull the trigger. When will people be politically educated, fully conscious of the issues affecting their world. Civilians need to be educated in Law and Government if they are to be the deciding factor of who is to be condemd to prison or set upon the thrown to lead countries. Ignorence is bliss but not when making important decisions that will have lasting impacts on the future of our world. The Masses are usually ignorent or apathetic and so are the people they place into power. Without Good Virtues and civic duty placed at the forefront of our schooling perhaps nobody would go into politics if not for the temptation of wealth and power. Then again those best suited for leading are not always the ones who want the job.

Capitalism and Democracy are not the same thing. To have the opportunity for every body to be heard and their oppinion concidered that is democracy. Capitalism is free market alowing merchants to sell whatever they want. I believe Capitalism like anything should be limited and removed from politics. Politicians should have real jobs, go to work for the gov for 4-8 years and return to their regular lives as should each of us take our turn in the driver seat and be educated to do so. We all need to do our part.

How is it possible to separate them. The economic model we apply to the way we live is fundamental to the system of government we have and the services and infrastructure the government is able to provide just as you mention the law is.
The purpose of government is to ensure that the system - in our case a capitalism system - serves the people in the way the people choose not that the people are subservient to or controlled by the system. So if there is something about the system that you think does not serve the people you become active and mobilise like minded people to change it. If there are enough people that agree with you the system then changes.
If the system is unable to attract the best and the brightest, that responsibility is on those that think they are more capable and able but only sit back and complain and do nothing. The system is only ever as good as we the community require it to be. However be thankful that our system gives us the opportunity to do something about it when we aren't happy - all it requires is commitment, energy,determination, perseverance and a positive attitude.

Greetings! What you are asking is a Utopian question. This would be great in a Utopian world, but the fact is, true democracy really doesn't exist. There are four types of political power in the world in reality. They are communist, capitalist, socialist and dictatorship.
Democracy has been driven in this nation by wealth for well over a hundred years. There are choices, yes, but the flashiest, most glamorous and most sophisticated campaigns often dictate the winner.
Hope this helps. Happy Holidays!

The best way to separate Capitalism from politics is for every citizen to exercise their right to vote and to make an informed vote. Lobbyists from the private sector are in constant contact with politicians every day and put heavy pressure on them to vote private interests. They are able to do this because too many of the electorate do not vote and do not bother to inform themselves with information about legislation that is out there for them to inspect. Money does not vote but it has a lot of power because our citizens allow it to. If more people actually voted then politicians would be more answerable to them and less inclined to let corporate dollars influence their decisions.

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.
Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).
Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.
Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.
Anti-Democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents, and false government.

when you can figure out a way to separate the money from capitalism from the greed of politics to have your perfect utopia, let me know. maybe i'll come visit. LOL everyone tends to forget this country was founded on christian ideals...the fact there was a clause to separate the church from the state was not to drown out christianity or religion, it was just to ensure everyone got to practice their own form of christianity as they saw fit, and to help ensure we did not end up with another king claiming power granted from the almighty.

continuously remember how fortunate you're to stay right now in united states of america after maximum suitable court docket had guts to get rid of formalized prayer from public faculties. they did not get rid of prayer, however the da-facto compelled participation in prayers; plus you reside in a rustic that facilitates you to ask question you asked. you will not in any respect separate faith from politics for 3 considerable reasons: it quite is a considerable area of very super style of persons's psychic, non secular chief aside from very few relatively non secular are extensive ability participant in politics; and the two prepared faith and government are interior the organisation of controlling human beings. that is controlling that quest for ability that needs pointed out and controlled. think of human beings ought to stay with the greater useful factors of all religions around over the centuries, yet not compelled to stay with any faith.

Business must not mixed with politics because it is the system when officials will become rich and rob the coffers of both government and companies.
