These are some of the concerns that need to be addressed by policy.
Most of these concerns arise from the possible misuse of power 'loaned'
out by the citizen to other citizens. While addressing these concerns, the
effort must always be to make as sharp an instrument as possible, to pick
out and solve a particular problem, rather than a blunt instrument, which
indiscriminately hurts other parts of the society while 'solving' this
concern.
Positive concerns:
* I want an environment where I, my family, and everyone else, is rewarded
based on their effort, capability, creativity, and actual contribution. In
particular, I want to be able to become as rich as I want to be, given the
effort I put in.
* I want to be able to live my life in whatever way I please, subject only
to the constraint that I respect the basic social norms of decency and
non-injury to others.
Negative concerns:
* While enabling myself and others to become as rich as we can, I do not
want to give others the power to fix prices which are based on
monopolistic practices.
* I want those who are physically and mentally handicapped to be provided
assistance to live a decent human life, even though they may be unable to
contribute in any way to society.
* Officials/ politicans should not commit theft of public property.
* Production units (small or big firms) should not be allowed to pollute
air, water and land.
* Strikes by workers should be dealt with through negotiation by the
parties concerned and not through use of the state's force.
* Public infrastructure should be provided equitably across the
country to the extent possible.
