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.

A political system is governed by the needs of the people, if perhaps some benefit one and
others do not favor them, but all with a common need and that helps the majority of citizens,
you have nothing to do with which is more intelligent or not. The studies matter since the most
prepared was to be of great help but intelligence does not matter.

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

The central problem of political science is to know what will be the content of this new world
culture. What is problematic in the content of the emerging world culture is its political
character. While the movement, in the sense of technology and organizational rationality, is
highly uniform throughout the world, the direction of political change is less clear.

3. People should be admitted to schools and hired for jobs based on their ability.

Totally agree, on the other hand we can perform much better in what we are better at doing.
Although in the same way we can exercise other skills, perhaps not in which we are more
favorable, but you can do things apart to be better in others. Not all of us are good at
performing what others want.

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

This is how it should be, but not all governments are interested in the public or a small part of
them.

5. Taxes allow the government to create jobs and provide welfare programs for
people in need.

It is often assumed that taxes are a bad thing, that governments want to deprive citizens of their
hard-earned money. But from an economic justice and human rights perspective. Taxes are a
vital source of revenue for most governments to finance essential infrastructure and services for
their citizens. Of course, the rents will not automatically be used for such social goods.

6. Governmental programs encourage people to become dependent and lazy

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

Many people feel that stupid people are the 'worst' problem. (I'd argue that smart people
without integrity are even worse. These people know the system, play politics well, and often
end up in gray areas.) Integrity or not, it's easier to get rid of an unintelligent person than a
smart one.
