Oh, you mean how in a business everyone tells their boss that Mike would make the best foreman but the boss hires Frank because he kissed his ass more often than Mike? Or how about how everyone works hard to get Robert on the team only to find out he doesn't deliver and then look for ways to create a reason to fire him.
It's exactly like a business, down to the goofy politics of who gets what and why. Think of anywhere you've worked, didn't you notice "that guy" who was doing his best to show the boss how and why he should be in charge of a certain area (an area that makes more money), constantly CAMPAIGNING for the job. And how the higher-up managers just seem to pop in out of nowhere and somehow have no idea what's going on within the business?
What's even funnier is that profit margin is the base of our government, in fact all government at its core is an operation to accumulate wealth.
The church's basis is to accumulate wealth as well, but with a religious government there is usually heavy (heavier) threats of war and more often than not, nurtured by zealots who are guided unofficially in to terrorism. It's path will also take the religious government in to passive or aggressive conversion and/or "guidance" to create more followers. Italy today would be a passive, Pakistan would be an aggressive (creating viral videos to follow, westernized understandings of Islam, etc). But the kicker here is that we spent decades upon decades doing the exact same thing with fighting and attempting to convert the reds, through diplomacy (passive) or through aggressive force.
America is a business in that we also create goods that are exclusive to this country, then outsource them for their physical creation to countries that will work for much less money or openly trade (for money) to anyone willing to do business at high-profit ie: an orange is worth more to an Arabic country, red meats is worth more to island countries, etc - Our meat and potatoes also includes our internal money changing, especially in the form of the stock market but truth be told, that's 30% global market and business 20% inbred rich people, 50% marketeers, liars and gamblers and America gets a small cut of everything sold and bought.
That's what they blame this current problem on, that "we dont spend enough" because everyone is getting better at watching their checkbook but that means the flow of internal monies is too low to keep the government (and its "share holders") comfortable. The government are the investors in the business, we are the employees. But the real issue is that small business cant compete. Name a product, anything, and I guarantee you I can find a multi-million dollar global business that does it better and cheaper. That huge business plays the books, hoards and disperses, very little of those monies ever gets back in the system, so we become complacent and unwilling to push our own, instead relying on the global monsters to handle everything, we go to work for them and get our skimpy paychecks which is regulated by the government so the exact number you bring home will go right back out just to maintain basic function of the household. The whole system is perfectly designed to maintain a balance of where certain classes fit, just like a business has its dock workers, it's CEO's and its layers of employees. We even designed it so that your family's level of wealth determines your official education level.
It's a business through and through.
