This is just curiosity and so people can talk about how they feel about the government of their country or what government they believe is right.
Personally, I believe in a small government where the government hardly does anything to affect your life, but people just don't care nowadays what happens: They just want free stuff, like money, food to make them fatter, other free junk from what the government 'romises' also known as 'lies' and the government has just controlled people.
So, I believe in a small, democratic government that won't control your daily life. That would include Capitalism as well.

Also instead of having just one person at the top have three


My thoughts exactly.
A well known professor or scholar in charge of the humanities, an effective and wealthy man in charge of ecoNOMics, (not corrupted, of course), and a well-known and successful military leader would be in charge of militia ops.

Well done, [Char(actour)][les(s)] DarWIN, you've made us all monkeys.

I think that the government should be a republic. My reason being that you have a small government.

Granted, it may not be a nice house, or a lot of money, or even lightly-inflated money, but its all the same, right?

Democracy, because the most people can get the most success. Wealthy citizens create businesses, which create jobs, which pay other citizens, who can then in turn (if they make smart descisions) to become wealthy, and the cycle repeats.

Depends who I am. If I'm a wealthy politician, I would want an oligarchy. If I'm a poor worker, I want a republic.

*chuckle*

Feudalism all the way... Or maybe Fascism... Or communism :|

Nah, i'd choose a republic, considering if I were a normal/poor citizen.

The &quoterfect government" (considering the stability, NOT the people, please understand this point clearly) would be the EXTREME totalitarianism we're shown in George Orwell's "IngSoc" regime. Since I doubt any of us would want something like that, there isn't a perfect government. I would support socialism, however, socialism and communism is impossible to execute, because there must be a leader, and that leader inevitably ends up "more equal".

Capitalism is terrible, in my opinion, because it makes the rift between the poor and wealthy even larger, and the poor can't just "find work and be not poor". It's just not that simple.

Nah, the best way is to just be self dependant. Live on an island, generate power through potatoes, farm your own stuff and hope that some government doesn't claim your island.

A government that isn't controlled by rich PARASITES (who don't pay taxes and move their factories to China putting millions of American people out of jobs)! And also no parties involved. A government that respects people's religion or non religion or sexual orientation.

Unfortunately, it'll never append in the USA because criminals are running everything such as drug companies that charge 5 times more money for the same medication you can get in Canada (at the normal price), Insurance companies that take our money but try not to give us the benefits we overpaid for, oil companies that do everything to keep us dependent on gas instead of alternative fuels, just to name a few of the worst criminals who will make sure a government will never serve it's people (the ones who actually work).

They pay taxes, and in a free capitalistic system, people go for profit maximising, and should be allowed to set up businesses whereever they please. It's not their fault that China is more attractive as a venture.

oil companies that do everything to keep us dependent on gas instead of alternative fuels,


What do you expect? They're OIL companies, after investing billions in the technology, you would expect them to exhaust the easiest supplies first. Furthermore, not all energy sources are available everywhere, good examples would be Hydro or Wind energy.

(the ones who actually work).


Oil and drug companies and businesses don't run the government. Just pointing out. They might lobby, BUT they don't set policies.

Preferably, anarchy. Another option is local governments, like from town to town. When you have a government that gets out of control and is in charge of too many things like here in the U.S., it just doesn't work. If we were to keep what we have now, cut the federal government by about, 99% and we'll be a lot better off.

So...by removing the Federal government, and returning to a town by town system, you're removing the protection you get from the military, leaving you defenceless as bigger towns decide to gobble you out. Without a government, you are left with chaos as people decide to do whatever they want since no one will follow the law as there is no one to enforce justice. You will have no taxes collected and hence no roads, no healthcare, no schools, no hospitals.

Good idea, how much better can it get?

1. It isn't the governments job to provide "healthcare". 2. Schools are just another way of brainwashing kids. 3. Most hospitals aren't run by the government. 4. The government is like one big town, but with nearly infinite resources. And the town can start a militia or something similiar.
