Okay, then, it seems as though one side is all good, the other all bad even though that idea seems redundant in its application to unenlightened humanity. You live in a democracy so you'll get the government you need or deserve, maybe both? In fact isn't that true for every facet of our lives?
I wouldn’t go that far. I find some right wing politicians have some high ethical standards. Much higher than some left wing ones. The main difference is they mostly seem to think that they as individuals can do a better job than the government. However it’s gotten way out of hand, with a handful of them having more wealth than 50% of the population. I’m seeing Amma right now. She has given some 1.8 billion dollars in aid to the homeless, indigent and disaster relief since 1985 (to only name a few of her accomplishments) . She is a model of how the individual is more venerable than governments. Although she is a Master. She has also made comments about how wealth can lead to great selfishness and spiritual impoverishment. I think there is a lot to be said about the spiritual principle that to those who have much is required.
There are those among us who have little economically yet we find ourselves blessed in the presence of spiritual affluence. Some of us may not find our desires as important as the needs that we have been provided with to transform ourselves.
