This week on the weekly competition of writing, this time we have whether our governments favor the rich people. So hello everyone. I pray that things are nice for you. The question is quite valid. I would first like to elaborate on the situation and then we will argue whether it is corruption or this is the norm. Spoiler alert. Obviously this is some sort of corruption because the very definition of democracy is completely different from what we're seeing throughout the world. Anyway, this is something we cannot run away from because as I said all around the world, this is a common scenario. So we got to live with it.
Let's understand the problem first. In a Democratic country, there are elections and you elect someone for your constituency. And by design by extension it results in a certain party coming into power. And this party, considered, is chosen based on the majority of all votes. Is supposed to be a party that does well and right by the population of the country. The party believes to be working for the people and the people believe that the party will work for them. But would we see more commonly that these elections are often funded or financially manipulated by certain groups of people. These people hold a lot of money in different forms. And their donations and other contributions make politicians a bit lenient towards them. That's why when it's their job to render new laws or fix the existing ones, they tend to lean towards making it just a little more tolerable for those same rich people. And since the poor people can't contribute in such ways, they are often disregarded by the politicians because they have people who they need to make happy. This is just a very watered-down version of what actually goes on around the world. I'm talking about tax cuts, business loan cuts, easier loans for businesses. Then there are more relaxed audits for new startups etc. there are different tax exemptions too. And the rich people use these loopholes to dodge their taxes so they are simply not paying but they're gaining and the poor people are paying more than they're gaining. So I wanted to go over the problem first and then explain why this is so normal around the world but I thought about talking about this like I would talk to a friend and then I mixed it up and now I have explained everything in a rather unstructured manner. But I hope you'll understand what I want to say here.
The bottom line is that this is common around the world. This is a form of corruption. You could say that because the donations and the contributions in the first place in the election are usually not completely legal. There are many loopholes in the law that are used to funnel these contributions all the way to the politician. I will not name any names but this is how things work around the world. If you follow the money, you'll be able to find enough names to change your mind.
