Democracy Does Actually Work!

And it is effective and good.

That is for certain purposes, which are not necessarily good.

One can say a lot about democracy, but it is hard to argue that it does not work.

We live with democracy in our declined Western civilization. With modern democracy the government charges a whole lot of taxes from a whole lot of people all the time. It is stable. It is hardly challenged. It's not about to break down.

So it works. It is good and effective, e.g., at maintaining and expanding a quite sizeable, far-reaching, and pervasive government.

Democracy does actually work!

Strange!

No Christian king has ever had the audacity to take half of our incomes in taxes and tell us we were free!
