Therefore it's a misallocation of money and resources
So then why have welfare in the first place?
It's a waste
@MinecraftMemer because it's good for re-election
So you're suggesting elections are the problems?
I prefer job fairs over welfare
Elections are a problem yes
Temporarily anyways
Democracy is dangerous to competent statecraft because it forces every political decision to be lowered to a level of stupidity that the masses can understand.
If welfare is intrinsic to democracies, then it would be logical to have a different style of government.
In that case, we would have monarchies.
I disagree
Monarchies are almost never concerned about their nation
I would say quite the opposite.
Nationalism is incompatible with monarchies
Nationalism did not exist during the age of monarchs
This is history
Monarchies are probably the MOST concerned for the long term welfare of citizens.
You need a strong, but empathetic, temporary dictatorship
Why not a permanent monarch?
Have you ever read Hans-Hermann Hoppe?
Because monarchies are prone to hereditary corruption
My ideal monarchy would be a non hereditary internally elected one
Hereditary rule is precisely why monarchies is so effective and efficient.
With heavy requirements
Hereditary rule is disgusting
What do you think would happen in America with a parliament
It encourages monarchs (unlike democrats, who only worry about elections) to invest in the future of the country.
@WEBENGi we have a parliament dipshit
It's called Congress
They're not that different
Just different titles
And the upper chamber is elected as well
Hereditary rule is the only insurance that rulers will care about the future.
There are distinct differences.
@MinecraftMemer it's also prone to low IQ leaders
And inbreeding
@WEBENGi not so major they are unrecognizable ftomt each other
And in that case, they would have their nation (i.e. property) lose value.
And we would be dominated by smart, competent leaders.
