What is really behind all the Austrian's new favorite phrase "Wos been my performance?" hides.
There are themes that emerge in different forms again and again in the mind's eye. One of these "Metathemen": the almost unnoticed continuous war between individual and society . Have solidarity, community spirit, the power for one another have a value, if all the world for personal motivation, I cross-stock companies and self-actualization as the supreme principle?
It could be easy to make and worship God as a replacement of capitalism (and thus in a sense taking over since the second world war so successfully seemingly basic American principle) will share the blame, make that interest in the public interest increasingly disappears from view of the individual. He himself, after the success of panting, at best, driven by consumer lust man, is central to the social ideal image - where "success" in this style mainly manifested material.
It was just the American President Kennedy, who called for admonishing his appointment in 1961: "Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country." From this simple explanation of why there are taxes has remained about the same as the musketeer principle "one for all and all for one." They cost the average consumer a "tss"
The impression was puts much more the worst case scenario for any company in more detail: Everybody thinks only of himself and looks like it comes so far. The lack of implementation of the theme "society and their holistic development," therein which is perhaps the most sustainable error perpetrated by those in power everywhere in times of an increasingly interdependent world.
In the United States manifests the development of even more clearly at the political level than here. The Europeans grotesque debate on health reform, this has also shown how the current debate over whether states may go broke (while Europe tinkering, at least apparently in solidarity parachutes). The whole also happened yet superficial and obvious from political considerations, of greed for power. Rather for their own caste, even better for their own coffers to work as a think of the common good. Me first!
banks and corporations, these new rules in recent years so perfected that they used the moral difficulties to turn the power relationship to politics is already in its favor. The indignant outcry of the people in BAWAG, Lehman or Goldman Sachs in executive pay or bonuses will cost the affected long ago only a smile out of petty cash. The policy has long been arranged with them anyway.
What we in Austria would. What can be gained in recent weeks and months in this country of impressions from this close-knit community of inventors mock money, so some description. In cases of justice concerning the political caste are deported until they have expired (case Strasser). In medicine has long been known to the last Alpine valley, the fact that "friends of the rich quality point" or a major accident are necessary to facilitate a rational treatment of illness. And the summit of all 'debts resentment ": the former finance minister pushes obscene sums of money that he has" earned sour, hired by foundations and other constructs to Liechtenstein on Detours his wife a tax-friendly lake house and constantly asserts and loyal, looking three that he has done nothing wrong.
Even if he is right (as defined by applicable laws) should have, so this indicates the complete disappearance of any moral principles of "shame borders" - just in politics and the surrounding caste. Tags complacent? Meinl, Hochegger, Plech, Porr, Buwog; rated uncles, friends party, yacht owners and 100-million-euro-in-Geldbörserl Haber.
The present role model is therefore necessarily fatal - "THE na if allowed to, may I do that too: corruption, bungling, cronyism and party book - who can blame the average citizen, when he quietly, but the state, so the company - and then again so are cheating themselves? The sigh-apologetic "I can change the system anyway, so I have to arrange myself with." is a desperate declaration of bankruptcy on the company policy is. A fool who keeps to the rules!
In all of these exemplary cases, by Florian Klenk in the world while trying hard, "debt" to prove (again legally relevant range), but it's ultimately really is on this issue higher ethical component (sorry for the leg swing). The hopelessness of this venture cements the activist moth-reading Grasser'schen the telephone protocols: it brings a hearty laugh out of desperation. Only we ourselves are in this play the fool. And so sad all this is: to achieve this, this is even an enormous achievement, Mr. Meischberger.
