elections
Elections could be used to decide the level of basic
financial capability required to become a parent. Options could be: None, $500,
$10,000, $15,000. Such elections could be held every 2 years or so, so that
people have a chance to determine or reassess what standard of living their
children should be born into and brought up in, according to varying economic
and social conditions. Now the people can not only decide who rules them but
also their own future living standards. Ultimately, that is what democracy and
elections are for. So that people would decide who can give them a safe and
acceptable standard of living. The people’s judgment of the election candidate’s
ability may prove to be right or wrong, but through the entire bureaucracy and
government machinery under the election winner, the final effects of their
choice is hardly ever what they had thought would be. If people decide the
minimum standard of living they wish to be born into, they are deciding their
minimum standard of living, if not for themselves, then for their children. They
are deciding both the living standard of their children and the general living
standards surrounding their children.
