Robert talked about that the corruption will affect on the efficiency of the capitalism system. There is someone, or wait a minute. Someone named Douglas J. Amy, Professor of Politics at Mount Holyoke College. She said the capitalism relies on the government because capitalism is only a tool and government is the guys who use it, who practice it on the very people it protects. And it should be like provide economic shelters, and justice, because that’s the function of the government. They should be protect our market system, and the government should protect our rights, they provide us job opportunities, they provide us the justice, social justice, the economical justice. And they gave us protection, what protection? For instance, when we are buying stuff, maybe we’ll be cheated by others. So the government gave us protections form these cheating and something that will harm our rights, our very rights. But can our government be really, fully trusted? We see that Taiwan has a clean government, do you guys think that? No I don’t think so. Da-Pu incident is recently happened, I think it a great example to prove our government maybe corrupted and we cannot trust them anymore. I will introduce you the Da-Pu incident. Da-Pu incident is that, 苗栗 city government want to take the lands of some farmers, their houses are still on the land but the government still want it anyway. And their excuses is that they want to build a science park, a science park for InnoLux. InnoLux is a technology company, and it said that it want to build a science park, and 苗栗 government said OK, I will give you the land. But they take the land from our people, and they ignore our very right. You know that it’s our houses, it’s our land, it where we’re living at. So, they take our homes, they take our lands. And that’s the proof that maybe there is corruption behind it, because you see the red parts, the red parts are the lands that are used to build science park, and the yellow part is used to build houses, big buildings, skyscrapers. It’s used at urban plan, and what urban plan can profit the government? Government can sometimes take commissions from those urban plans, because they gave lands to the company and company will gave the commissions back to the government. Our government promise that they will keep our house, our lands, but NO, they didn’t. They lied to us, they are like, a bunch of liars, they are corrupted. How can we trust our government to protect our rights if they are corrupted? So can our government be trusted? No because there is corruption in this government. And because of capitalism relies on a clean and functional government to help us build the society, so when the government is corrupted, the capitalism cannot be fully functional.
