Who would prefer legally replacing representative govt with a true daily direct Democracy in USA?
Question by bulabate: Who would prefer legally replacing representative govt with a true daily direct Democracy in USA?
Your brain dead if you believe any named party & putting lawmaking trust in the hands of the few is going to benefit the citizen majority under our form of capitalism. Never has never will by design.
What is so hard to understand about the citizens gaining full legislative rule & control over money/business/govt? If you do NOT gain this legal power you will always be serving the wealthy few or starving/facing financial insecurity etc.

Educate yourself. Our founders hated Democracy. They knew it would be the tyranny of the majority or mob rule. That’s why we are a Constitutional Republic.
What right do other Citizens have to tell other citizens what to do with their property. Smells of Communism.
Show me the word Democracy in the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights?
Democracy is NOT compatible with Freedom.
I know, the truth hurts sometimes.

Is it altruism if the US gov’t helps victims of Katrina on their feet by restoring the public infrastructure?
Question by heeltap: Is it altruism if the US gov’t helps victims of Katrina on their feet by restoring the public infrastructure?
The above is the headline Q. This is the full-version Q: Is it altruism if the US gov’t helps victims of Katrina back on their feet by restoring the needed public infrastructure of the towns,cities ,counties, & parishes of LA, MS & AL? The people whose lives were impacted by Katrina & Rita & who were forced to leave their homes & businesses, want to go home but many can’t until the gov’t commits to & begins the effort to restore in earnest the public services necessary for people to commit to living temporarily in FEMA trailers while their homes are rebuilt. Public services from water to electricity to garbage/debris removal, police enforcement, public transportation, public housing, medical facilities, & education facilities that were all damaged or destroyed by Katrina & the Levee failures, are the necessary supporting infrastructure of daily life in any city. How can the gov’t at all levels, Federal,State & Local, across the Gulf Coast think they can pretend otherwise. TWH 08282006
Wikipedia gives this definition for the word: “Altruism is an ethical doctrine that holds that individuals have an ethical obligation to help, serve, or benefit others, if necessary at the sacrifice of self interest. Auguste Comte’s version of altruism calls for living for the sake of others. One who holds to either of these ethics is known as an “altruist.”
The ethical doctrine of altruism has also been called the ethic of altruism, moralistic altruism, and ethical altruism.

Answer by toe poe gee gee oh
It is not altruistic of the government for the people by the people…paid for by your tax dollars. The task of rebuilding is going to take up to ten years and the people need thier homes rebuilt today. The damage is far to extensive, to fix in such a short time.
