Proper policy always requires a mix of popular and unpopular measures: e.g.<br>
lowering taxes *and* increasing government spending are perhaps popular<br>
measures, but will not work in the end: the state will go bankrupt. Usually,<br>
people do not like change, because change is a risk. But change may be<br>
needed in the end for improvement. yes, it is pretty basic.<br></blockquote><div> </div></div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightened_absolutism">"Everything for the people, nothing by the people."</a> What you are defending here is against democracy and i despise the enlightened despotism you are defending here.
