Too Much of a Good Thing Why we need less democracy.(Former Obama Director)

Nothing more than a prescription for tyranny.

It reminds me of the days of the Wiemar Republic. when people like this Orszag fellow also thought they needed less democracy.

They no longer believed in the old imperial upper classes system and capitalism, yet were deadly afraid of the Bolshevism.

From the labour movement they elected an moderate working class union man, one who firmly believed in less democracy and unrestrained by outdated "bourgeois" morality. The man and his party (largely by fiat) carry out his party's big government policy projects and revive the economy, utilizing the crippled private sector at the point of a gun. And at the expense of millions of lives and a second world war.

This man of action of course, was Adolph Hitler and the group was the National Socialist Workers Party or the Nazis.
