Yeah, right.

"Hey Osama you want fries with that?"

And that would be the competence level you'd get in government with a low wage. Either that, or those so obsessed with wielding power that you'd want them as far away from it as possible.

Come to think of it, kind of like the situation now.

But I'm interested in how the "leverage" factor would work. How are you going to stop mega-national corporations dealing with those countries on your shit list. Think they'll stop making the easy bucks because Dubya says so?

Most of the turmoil going on in the world today has a healthy contribution from/because of big business. It's they who call the shots. It's they who made rich lunatics like Osama.
