Money does not necessarily impact truth. (Correct. So there's no need for more money in an election campaign you only need a bit) "democracy" is a vague word. (No it isn't. America is just a representative democracy) The American Founding Fathers were not big fans of that word. (Correct because they thought a charismatic figure without the ability to rule may sneak into power) I support decentralized (local governments? Is a country not local enough?- when compared with the world? You can make city-level government, or suburb/district-based government. They are all unitary and centralized on their own scale, all that fragmenting the 9x9x9 block into 9 3x3x3 blocks achieves is increased chaos.), aristocratic (how does one determine membership of the ruling class? In all societies there is some ruling class. The president is ruling class for 4 years but he earns his place there by being voted in as a representative, in Plutocracies they are granted their position by earning the most money, aristocracy.... by... genes... Really? GENES?!) Autocracy, democracy, et cetera are just different forms of government(And what you proposed is another one yet. Fragmenting a nation achieves NOTHING but disorder. Do you want disorder? No? so why begin fragmenting your country when it isn't the final step of fragmentation, more can come and all you've done is decrease national cohesion) one form is not better or worse than another (better or worse at what?). Different times and circumstances may require different forms. (Eh? Explain please) The form, in my opinion, is irrelevant as long as the goal- Order and Liberty- is achieved.(are order and liberty ever contradictory?, order certainly seems worsened by "decentralization" and liberty... Liberty stays the same maybe) Your Tao prescribes what is good and bad. What is a good way of determining a leader according to your personal Tao? Democracy? Might? Truth? Adherence to tradition? What is this most important value to you? I am going to assume that it is might/wealth that makes something right. But you would not ask Trump to joust for his right to rule or to duel a knight or to lift more than an olynpic weight lifter. But that man is RICH and wealth makes a good leader. So it is FAIR and GOOD that if a leader is richer than others that he deserves to lead. He must know how to run a business. He will make America rich, like he made his business rich. Becoming rich requires knowledge, dedication, and some other values belonging of your Tao, correct?
