Introduction
Have you ever heard of an economy powered and consumed by the affluent? In “San Diego reader: how the rich steal from schools’’, availed on Wednesday, August 11 2010, Don Bauder gives readers a foretaste of the plutocracy in the San Diego administration (Bauder).
Plutocracy
Bauder’s exit from the union-tribune on 27-03- 2008 was well received by the city council affiliates. He had lashed out at the San Diego administration, branding it a plutocracy administration since the affluent minority control significant proportions of resources. He says an economist at New York’s Citigroup initiated the statement plutocracy in 2005 (Bauder).
Abuse of redevelopment funds
He says the poor and persons at the middle-level were to benefit from the redevelopment resources. It was to create reasonably priced housing and eliminate affliction. San Diego administration instead diverted the strategies and built corporate interests scheme. This benefited the affluent who were involved in the venture; they include the prosperous, developers, and builders (Bauder).
Charger stadium
Bauder sees no essence of the San Diego government, paying a consulting firm to analyze the prospect of a charger stadium. Political apparatus eventually helps the rich in stealing from the young ones. Tax augmentation gap is to be increased; the spur is to permit the distorted city to support a charger stadium (Bauder) financially.
Conclusion
Bauder believes San Diego is an archetype with a plutocracy administration. The economist concluded that major producing countries such as the UK, Canada, Austrailia, and the US, were to enjoy sturdy economic augmentation than other emergent countries (Purpel 25). The citigroup economist prediction of the rich increasing their stature in the society was realized between 2001 and 2007.
Reaction
The information provided by Bauder illuminates the need to comprehend how affluent persons in society distort the manner in which operations are conducted. Their influence transcends different sectors, such as the economy, erudition, and societal factors. It is imperative to come up with measures that would ultimately initiate regulatory measures. This prevents affluent people from unduly interfering with societal processes, especially education (Bauder).
His exit from the administration further illuminates the rot in the society that ultimately contributed to the dire state of education affairs. It is familiar information that persons, who significantly experience the dire state of affairs propagated by the administration in San Diego, conform to economic standards that are lowly. It is noteworthy that the rich in the region utilize their political connections as a means of propagating ill acts against the society.
This concept is illustrated by the construction process as it pertains to the charger stadium (Bauder). Taxes play an influential role in determining the economic state and affairs of a country, it is imperative that control measures are initiated to avoid issues such as tax augmentation that propagates unfair tendencies and practices.
Diversion of funds from functions and processes they were intended to do, only indicate that the corruption levels are steadily increasing in the country. This further indicates that societal management processes are steadily deteriorating thus accommodating unintended acts.
