Government Corruption Ownership

More From Theodore Roosevelt

I am big supporter of the idea of a global anti-corruption movement - but one that begins by recognizing that the architecture of corruption is different in different countries. the corruption we suffer is not the same as the corruption that debilitates africa. but it is both corruption, and both need to be eliminated if the faith in democracy is not going to be destroyed.
Country Ideas Suffering
Government picking winners and losers = corruption. when government tries to pick winners and losers, the inevitable consequence is corruption. yes, corruption. if not in a legal sense, certainly in a moral sense
Government Trying Moral
One hundred and fifty years ago the vacant lands of the west were opened to private use. one hundred years ago the congress passed the homestead act, probably the single greatest stimulus to national development ever enacted. under the impetus of that act and other laws, more than 1.1 billion acres of the original public main have been transferred to private and non-federal public ownership. the 768 million acres remaining in federal ownership are a valuable national asset.

Lokpal bill alone is not adequate to fight corruption. we need a comprehensive anti-corruption code in this country. the upa government has developed a powerful anti-corruption frame work consisting of eight new central laws...... this is not about one bill, this is about a frame work and we want to deliver that frame work to the country
Country Powerful Fighting
Under fascism, citizens retain the responsibilities of owning property, without freedom to act and without any of the advantages of ownership. under socialism, government officials acquire all the advantages of ownership, without any of the responsibilities, since they do not hold title to the property, but merely the right to use it -- at least until the next purge. in either case, the government officials hold the economic, political and legal power of life or death over the citizens.
Responsibility Government Political
Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

Nothing is more useless in developing a nation's economy than a gun, and nothing blocks the road to social development more than the financial burden of war. war is the arch enemy of national progress and the modern scourge of civilized man.

Regardless of the weight of the role, i feel like the job is always kind of the same. who is this person? what's this guy here, what's he trying to say? and what's the volley with all these other people around him? so i don't feel like that part of it changes. i have not reached the point - if there's a point you reach as an actor where it's, "oh, i got this figured out, i know how to do this". but i am happy to say that the primary building blocks of where you start, at least, there is a little bit of sameness to that. and that's always nice.
Nice Block People
