Beyond Democracy

“DEMOCRACY is nothing more than mob rule, where 51 percent of the people may take away the rights of the other 49 percent.”
— Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States

Government is not a benevolent Santa Claus. It is a selfish, interfering monster that will never be satisfied and will eventually suffocate the independence and autonomy of its subjects. And this monster is sustained by democracy: by the idea that the life of every human being may be controlled by the majority.

The fourth way is to spend someone else’s money on someone else. Then you have no reason to care about quality or cost. That is generally how government spends your tax money.
