Makes you wonder how much better off we'd be if the eugenics movement of the 30s was successful.
...among other things from the 30s!
Government eugenics are and would have been horrible like any other thing governments run - Do you honestly think a politician is going to sterilize their own kids? No, the system would have been hopelessly corrupted instantly.

No system with leaders is going to avoid that problem. I agree about the welfare.
Limited government solves that problem. Even if I wanted to favor my own people as a Helicoptarian councilman there are barriers to do so.
First of all I would likely get voted out as we have yearly elections and the responsibility of our government is limited. Going outside our constitutional limits with say subsidies would be very obvious.
Secondly our budget and power is extremely limited. The budget is only for police and military so stealing it all would quickly become apparent and wouldn't yield much compared to the money the deep state is controlling today. We also don't have eminent domain for stealing property. We can't even pass laws or regulations favoring a business that someone we know owns.
We could appoint biased judges.. but all court cases must be public so that would also quickly be seen, we would be voted out and all the biased judges could be dismissed by the new council.
Compared to a communist system or one with government eugenics where the ruler can rape your daughter or have you castrated for fun there's no comparison at all just because "leaders".
