Mostly because Daoism favorises an anarchistic governance style, Taoists favor spontanuety, not submissive order. The entire concept of Daoism is to follow your path, so it would be redundant if that path were to be chosen for them by a governement.
Moral theology is the study of moral principles using religious teachings and beliefs as a foundation, while moral philosophy is the study of moral principles using reason and logic as the primary tools. Moral theology often focuses on the teachings of a specific religion, while moral philosophy explores ethical theories and principles across different belief systems.
Some people believe that philosophy is dead because they think that science and technology have provided more concrete answers to questions that were traditionally explored by philosophy. They may see philosophy as less relevant or useful in the modern world compared to other disciplines.
The Founding Fathers were likely more influenced by Locke, as his ideas on natural rights, limited government, and social contract theory can be seen reflected in documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. While Hobbes also contributed to political philosophy, his views on absolute monarchy and the inherent selfishness of humans were less aligned with the principles founding the United States.
Well, traditionally, the Spartans have always been a warrior race - they trained primarily in battle and strategy and thought less about philosophy and life in general. They did have their own unique philosophy which was to never show weakness of any kind and to fight until death and this gave them their incredibly brave and fearless reputation but generally, it was more the Thessalian Greeks who were more interested in Philosophy.
Sure. Philosophy is nowadays a subject becoming less and less lucrative in the eyes of the majority. Even though it is the mother of science, because of its lack of money-making opporunities, lesser number of students seek admission to Philosophy Courses. In fact, in a few countries, the History Congresses there have lamented the bright students of those countries turning to science courses instead of to history and philosophy which ultimately results in the unavailability of talent in philosophical and historical studies. But in many famous Universities and Colleges, their Philosophy Departments are as equally important and prestigious as their Science Departments are, and do not think that admission to those Universities and Colleges in their Philosophy Departments would be as easy and competitionless as it appears.
Laozi was a Chinese philosopher who created the idea of Daoism. Laozi thought that both Communism and Legalism were a little off with there ideas to re-create a better society, so he came up with the brilliant idea to combine them. From that, he got the philosophy of Daoism. It wasn't too strict, but it did have a few set rules/guidelines for the people of China to follow. It lasted for over 200 years, while Legalism lasted less than 50. Obviously, Laozi was on the right track.
No. Daoism is a universalizing religion, holding that all people could and should become Daoists. Since Daoism is less exclusivist than the Abrahamic Faiths and because most Chinese people have embraced elements of Daoism, there is no push to proselytize the religion to the same degree.

Daoism advocates simple living; if you make it a point to focus all your earnings only on 1) Food (this includes clean drinking water) 2) Shelter 3) Clothing 4) and Hygiene Then, not spending money on luxuries, will in time make your bank account very large. If you turn it into a family tradition, the money will pile up generation after generation; that is the reason why many Chinese families enjoy wealth, a culture of saving for the next generation. Sorry, but there is no "daoist magic" for wealth, as, one of the few points both religiious and philosophical daoism agree on, overall, Daoism is decidedly anti-materialistic. The closest western counterpart to Daoism, is the philosophy of Diogenes. Its funny how the English pronunciation of Daoism begins with a D, as well as the name of the Greek philosopher who advocates its more or less western counterpart. Daoism Diogenes Personal and uncalled for opinion aside; as with the philosophy of Diogenes, Daoist philosophy takes a decidedly anti-materialistic stance. Diogenes however, took it to extremes, that can be considered extreme, even by Philosophical Daoists. I am terribly sorry, but in mystical/religious Daoism, where magical practice exists, there is no wealth building magic; all sorcery in Daoism, is focused on the cleansing of the soul, and achieving immortality, not personal wealth. If you have any Chinese claiming Daoism can make you rich, they're lying to you; chances are they are con artists only using their Chinese identity to lend "authority" to what they're talking about. For example "I am a Jew, and as a Jew, I can tell you that Moses used a .45 caliber machine gun to mow down the Egyptians, he did not part the red sea with a miracle. Listen to me, a Jew, not the guy with blue eyes over there who says the bible claims Moses did it with a miracle. Listen to me, a Jew, because being Jewish gives me authority." Many Chinese, with respect to Feng Shui, Chinese martial arts, among other things, use their ethnicity to lend false authority, to false claims. Please be careful.
The layer of soil below the topsoil that is less suited for crops is called subsoil. It typically has lower organic matter content, fewer nutrients, and poorer soil structure, making it less suitable for plant growth without proper management.
Have you read the Tao te Ching? There are tons of "slogans" throughout the book! If I had to make one up, it would be, "Go with the flow." Also, "Less is more."
This is a philosophy question. Men who are unjust are unworthy to be called men.

The mediate response might be "Religion" However, there appears to be less and less differences between them especially in the political and social climate in this great country of ours.
