There will always be those among us who lacking in talent, skill, drive, self confidence, self determination, self respect and intelligence, will use government to vote their neighbors into poverty and servitude. In a free society they should be free to be all those things, they just shouldn’t have the right to make it everyone’s problem.
I think there’s a way to allow rugged individualists and self centered centralists, to share the same government. Restrict the federal government from ever being the initiator or force. The sole exception should be to protect our borders. Other than that, all interactions between citizens and central government would be voluntary not mandatory.
If the federal government needs to raise money it can charge tariffs or sell treasury notes. The Initiation of force would be a State power, in the form of local Police and county Sheriffs.
If we shrink the size of the federal government, we will no longer be threatened by a group of political megalomaniacs and corporatists grabbing the reins of power and lording over all of us.
Remove the temptation for D.C. sociopaths. Neuter the government, and toss the “Ring of Power” into the fires of Mt. Doom already.
Repeal the 16th Amendment and re-establish our Republic for starters
Exactly! The one thing they’re supposed to be doing is the thing they’re not doing.
