Poll Results — Whose Government?
Submitted by Aguanomics Blog
Hey! There’s a new poll (know your neighbor) to the right —>
| My national government serves (choose 1+)… | |
| the People |  12 votes |
| special interests/businesses |  58 votes |
| its own people (bureaucrats and politicians) |  28 votes |
| the ruling party |  5 votes |
| the majority race/religion |  4 votes |
These results indicate that government (in many places?) has lost the confidence of citizens. That’s not a good thing, as it leads to a deterioration in the provision of social goods; see this morning’s post.
Bottom Line: We are willing to give up things for the common good as long as we feel that our sacrifices are evenly shared and benefit the majority.
