5. For many, growth in democracy means less authority for government.
Less AUTHORITY for government but much more government involvement in subsidies to corporations. It's a kind of paradox. We really want more government activity on our behalf but much less government enforcement of laws and much less government authority to regulate. It's ass backwards to me. If we want the free market and laws to work FOR the people and not AGAINST us, we should want MORE not less government authority to enforce the laws and regulate universal public resources like energy, water, food safety, medicine, etc.
