Building a Moral Society

John: It is important that debates in government focus on the actual needs of those in this Moral Society.

Jason: What about the thoughts of the people? The loudest voice in the Senate, may not be in touch with the majority in this society.

John: You are quietly saying that many are not truly represented by those who were elected to serve them.

Jason: Precisely, this is what needs to be debated, not who has a clear message for the nation.

John: Remember, debating for the sake of debating is similar to mice scratching food they do not want.

Jason: All I am saying is that there needs to be a way for those with no money to be heard.

John: Are you suggesting a government position solely representing to poor?

Jason: Actually a check and balance, in regards to how much money politicians can take from organizations and individuals. This would level the playing field, somewhat.

John: Getting back to the original point, what can we do to address the needs of all people?

Jason: First thing we must do is ask the people what they want through surveys both online and in person. To make things more equitable, we must sample a true representation of the people: poor, rich, women, minority, etc.

John: I agree, now it appears we are finally making some progress. A list of concerns may come to mind, whether better textbooks in school or more fire hydrants. Still a careful investigation may enrich us and help us root out some of the Republic's problems.
