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
R// I disagree. 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 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
R// The ideal system has to protect culture and 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.

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

based on their ability
R// 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 promote discrimination
and rips our society from its very bases.

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

public interest
R// This is the ideal statement for a democratic nation
nevertheless what we see nowadays is 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.
5. Taxes allow the government to create jobs and provide
welfare programs for people in need
R// 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 country and
municipal employees.

6. Governmental programs encourage people to become

dependent and lazy instead of inspiring them to become
hard-working and independent
R// 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 effectivity of the help given. The
programs that give financial aid or so without any requirements
are useless
