The Politics of Politics

I'm trying to figure out what an economic stimulus plan is. Citizens pay taxes. That's where the government gets it's money . The stimulus package comes from the government. So it's really the people's money. What's the difference between that and a tax credit?

On Mintax 4 elections were held every 6 years and if a candidate didn't get over 25% of the vote they were executed. And on Virlow's Second Moon you had to where truth detecting equipment at all times if you were elected to office.

But the worst politics I've ever seen was on Furrrbart in the Rexcept system. There if you were found guilty of abuse of power of office they allowed every citizen of the planet to kick the person in what humans would call their ass. The record before death was 7 years and about 5 million kicks and change before death.

But in the U.S., most folks really have no idea what is going on in their political system. It doesn't matter to them that money isn't worth anything, yet most Americans strive to get more and more of it.

On Greegor in the Dfghws star cluster, the citizens all choose a job from a list of needed jobs when they come of age. They then do this job to the best of their abilities and trade their goods or services for everything else they need. Every 10 years, they have the opportunity to change professions to another that is needed. I believe Earthers call this communism. I call it a great way to get a job. Greegor has an open border policy. You can leave whenever you want or come there and be guaranteed a job. Although, I've never met a rich Greegorian. Politicians there are chosen and the person that the citizens choose serves for 10 years. No one nominates themselves, they are nominated by their peers.

But as long as 'Politician' is a job title, the politician's will be corrupt. But it's still a very entertaining process.
