I want you to think for yourself - so I ask you some questions.
Imagine you are a platation owner and you have 200 workers picking cotton for you.
They are unhappy, because they do all the work and have only a little, while you don't do the work, but are rich and have a nice lifestyle.
What would you do?
Would you wait until your workers get mad and attack you and your family?
Take over your platation - you having suddenly no nice lifestyle any longer?
Would you let them elect 10 workers to become politicians, “who shall rule the platation”?
And would you let those 10 rule the plantation - or would you keep it under control yourself?
Could you motivate the politicians to tell the 190 workers what you want?
They don't have to pick cotton any longer and enjoy a nice lifestyle now.
If they act accordingly to your wishes, you would help them to get re-elected - to enjoy the nice lifestyle longer - not picking cotton again.
So who controls the plantation, who enjoys a nice lifestyle - and who has to compensate for the missing 10 workers?
And additionally pay 10 politicians for their nice lifestyle?
So why have some clever plantation owners installed a democracy?
