   It would be enough if voters remembered this simple lesson:  If you elect a   
   government that is Conservative (Republican in the U.S.), you elect a   
   government that represents the upper middle class to the very rich.  That   
   includes corporations that are also very rich.   
      
   Any country that votes in governments that represent the minority of its   
   citizenry - the wealthy - is either very stupid or believing that those who are   
   wealthy are going to 'share their wealth'.  They will NEVER share their wealth.   
     That's one of the ways they became wealthy.   
      
   So the answer for the majority of people in any country is:  elect a government   
   that will represent the majority of the people in your country.   
   Not a difficult concept.  For those who can think for themselves.
