Unfortunately, we elect the government we deserve. As Bastiat said: "What are we to think of a people who never seem to suspect that reciprocal plunder is no less plunder because it is reciprocal; that it is no less criminal because it is executed legally and with order; that it adds nothing to the public good; that it diminishes it, just in proportion to the cost of the expensive medium which we call the Government?" Change has to come from the bottom-up.
Interesting take on elections. Literally thinking of it as 'buying' the life you think you want from our overlords vs. the life you could have and should have if you just dispense with those overlords entirely and work for it yourself. Always love the way yout mind thinks. Keep them coming!
