And what if 'the people', in general are corrupt?
Will voter ID not then GUARANTEE a corrupt government?
Have we reached that stage already, in spite of all recent elections having been stolen?
By a corrupt people, I mean that in general, most people are at best obedient to authority and probably worse. No matter what abstract principles we claim to follow morally and by the law.
Meaning these abstract principles are long ago overwhelmed by our insistence on prioritising our obedience to authority above all else.
We obey because it works - not because it is good or bad. Because it works. It's well understood by all voters that obedience to authority will help you get on socially and economically more than anything else you can do.
So projecting onto evil wealth and power is just another mode of obedience signalling. We only elect wealth and power because this gives us an escape route - our guilt and shame is absorbed by wealth and power, allowing us to escape from our crimes, scott free.
