What Levin overlooks is that “the People” may be as corrupt as the givernment..
THAT; the givernment truely represents the people..
The givernment is corrupt because the people want it that way..
Proof?... If they wanted it to change they would change it.. (they don’t/won’t)..
DENYing this is a strong delusion!...
Obama(Clinton/Bush) is PUNISHMENT for corruption... by the populace..
God didn’t do it.. it is entirely... (( NORMAL ))..
Corruption seeking it’s own level..
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded here and there, now and then are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as bad luck.
