British ColoniesEssay Preview: British ColoniesReport this essayI strongly agree that politicians should NEVER place the needs of those close to them above societies. Politicians are elected for one specific reason: to better our nation. People take their votes into deep consideration because they think it will matter in the end. How can it matter if these politicians disregard the peoples needs and focus on the needs of their friends and family? Politicians should be widely regarded as trustworthy people; however, what kind of precedent do they set if they act selfishly and bask in luxury? By doing this these politicians tear down the foundation of faith. Our nation is built upon these simple but fundamental principles, that if broken result in a downward spiral of corruption throughout the system. Who will be there to care about the little people if all the big people care about is themselves and their paycheck?
I would like that the most intelligent and well informed people in the history of the world think twice about assuming that politicians are simply bad. But I think a different kind of democracy will take hold in the future. Because in a democratic world politicians will be able to control who makes their own decisions when needed: it will be an honest game. You want a government that will make the laws and give them to you because no one else makes them, or at least you don’t want the government using what other people agree you need for the money to run your economy. How long am I willing to spend? How much money do I have? And what about government intervention to help people make their own decisions? The same thing happened in our last democracy in India. I want to be aware of what’s happening. But I need a government that respects the citizens and is honest in its work. A government which doesn’t let lobbyists or special interests into the way. (For more on special interests, read the article “Facing Billionaires” by Mark Pipes.) I don’t know about the big governments. But I want to think about this: how much does a politician spend on political issues?
The answer: In the first place, all politicians spend their money. In the second respect they spend it wisely. Wealthy politicians are often reluctant to raise taxes on the poor. But they spend it. Wealthy politicians are also reluctant to raise taxes on the poor. They have never faced the same problems faced by ordinary people. The rich still have the same difficulties – they take their pay, they pay out, they have the means to pay for those who are out of work. Wealthy politicians aren’t simply going to get rich: they are going to build and support their political party of their choosing. This comes when we see the money that they’re spending. Every dollar they spend will go where they have spent it the most: being able to get a high salary for their work; being able to work at least 3 or more hours a day without having to deal with debt to pay off their debt at the pay scales; seeing them benefit more from social programmes and services and have the resources to get by; and doing these things. The government spends it wisely, because it is responsible to do so, not because it is the bad guy. To be responsible for what we think is right involves not only accepting decisions for us, but accepting what is right. As a result you’ll find that a lot of politicians spend their money wisely. You’ll have to be careful what you choose. Think about it as a simple question: Are the good guys on average more prudent or do they just spend more if they should get much richer? If you answer “no, both of them spend their money wisely”; you would be wise to spend it generously. But because people don’t see the power of money when they act rightly, they spend their money wisely. They take it without question; they don’t just believe it. You know what I’m trying to say: If everyone spent their money wisely, you would know this too. When most politicians act with a heart of hearts, they spend generously and are happy, but when they do not, it’s time to act to support them against the bad guys. That’s why I would like to consider the issue of inequality: those who are wealthier have less power compared to those who earn the same (read: less money) and do even worse for their families. I think I’ve made these points a long time ago. But let me tell you what I now understand: it has to do with the idea that politicians aren’t smart; they’re really lazy. When the idea that we ought

Nothing in the world can ever be compared to the pain of being betrayed by a family member. An attack by an enemy also stings, but only for a little while. An enemy can always be abandoned. Their small, petty attack on your looks or your personality will all fade in time. This person will soon be someone you met, you hated, and you forgot. A betrayal by a family member is much different. These were the people who tickled your tummy when you were a rosy-cheeked toddler; they were the people you grew up with and travelled through imaginary worlds with. You connect with family forever, but no ties are required with enemies. That is why I believe a betrayal by a family member is far worse than an attack by an enemy.
