>"Democratic control over economics" looks like people voting for more services and lower taxes.

contra - Denmark, Germany, Sweden...

there are countries that vote for the taxes that allow for supporting the services they want.

And I say this as someone who feels totally screwed over by the Danish tax system, but really your intro blanket statement was just not true.

agree, thus there is no reason to make a blanket statement about what democratic control means to an economy in the way that was made.
