South Africa could change the imbalance by letting
rich people to pay more taxes than poor people. All nonblack was not
discriminating black people before Mandela. Discriminating nonblack
people is as bad as
discriminating black people.
My brothers family suffer of this discrimnation so badly
that I sent them a little money the last christmas to make it possible for
them to buy some presents and a little food for their children.
My brother is sick but can not afford for health
insurance for himsele and his family even though he is 64 years old and really
need some kind of health insurance. Probably you are not responsible for this discrimantion
but you could tell reoponsible authorities that people in south Africa did not
fight against racism only to direct racism against other
groups of people in South Africa. Regards

Subject: RE: [WDDM] Democracy rating Hi Hamid, I am working on the change to Direct Democracy. Presentation to the Gauteng Province Executive of the Democratic Party in 2 hours (12h00). The discrimination in favour of B lacks comes about to address the imbalance created during apartheid. The problem is that this has created a small number of super rich blacks. There is a push that the system should be changed to Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment to spread the wealth. There needs to be a cut-off date and to stop discriminating against the young non-black South Africans who had nothing to do with Apartheid. Regards Jim Powell From: Hamid Mohseni

need corrupt leaders. Change your political system to direct democracy
instead. From:
autoinfo(at)acenet.co.za Nice one Bruce Our current president had his over 700 charges of fraud dropped because there was a “political conversation” over the timing of the charges 2 weeks before the elections. The person who gave him the money was sentenced to 15 years in prison for fraud and was released on unknown medical grounds 3 weeks before the elections. He was acquitted of rape charges when he had sex with the daughter of a late good friend. He then had a shower to reduce the likelihood of getting HIV. He has 3 wives and 19 children Check out the site http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/gov_cor-government-corruption . Iceland is the cleanest at #1 with a rating of 9.7, America is 17th with a rating of 7.6, South Africa is 46th with a rating of 4.5, Chad is at the bottom, 159th with a rating of 1.7. I do not know how they put the stats together. Regards Jim Powell South Africa From: Bruce Eggum
[bruce.eggum(at)gmail.com] USA like some other
country's on the list is not a democracy. It is a republic run by 565
representative politicians. On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 7:36 AM, <Joshua N Pritikin> wrote: On Mon, Jun 01,
