Subject: more questions to you...
In reply to: Oxymoron 's message, "Re: The role of Government...?" on 19:28:49 08/25/00 Fri

...Well, of course people who are sucsessful are going to be elected as our leaders in a representative demorcacy...what do you call middle class? Many memebers of congress where and remained to be upper middle class and middle class in congress when elected to the U.S. house...(perhaps you know how much it costs to maintain residence in the national capital region, consider having two houses..most states do not provide for congressional housing)besides life style...thy make fat congress pay now, and get lots of perks, but that doesn't necassarily make you rich...I can tell you for sure, that clinton, reagan, and nixon all came from middle class or poor families...particularly nixon, whoes father was a quaker orange farmer....

...Now, on your depiction of the role of goverment...what can goverment provide when the hearts of men and woman are but filled with greed? Do you think Goverment should be the opposite way around, and sap the rich to redistribute money to the middle class and poor? How could a true democracy work when people don't have a clue what they are voting on? My question that I asked you was what should the role of Goverment be, not what is the current role of govrement(the one you answered with the paragraph)...
