No, its a scam!!
In your perfect little world, you think the govt. represents you because you pay them.

Welcome to reality....they are taking your money and not upholding their basic laws.

if you cut out the middle class, the top collapses,,,,,,

if you cut the bottom class, the middle and top collapse


unfortunately, politics likes to divide up the units into the haves and have nots so that the haves hold on to what they have





What if you cut off the top? Does the whole thing die?
IMO no one is entitled to the earnings of another, that isn't the way it works. Socialist countries tried it, but failed. I would rather have the freedom to provide for me and my own than rely on any government for support, and to receive that support under the government's conditions and stipulations.



so, without a government,, how would you propose the country define its borders or trade with other countries or legislate and enforce laws

and if we have those responsible for those rather large tasks, how should they be paid and with what money should they fix roads, provide services, protect the borders, check health standards and food and drug standards,,,etc,,,

in a country this size, do you believe people are sane and intelligent enough to survive in virtual isolation where they are only important to themself and themself is the only one that should be important?


every large group needs a hierarchy of some sort, someone at the top of the chain, someone to organize and track,,etc,,,,,, ESPECIALLY a group of three hundred million, freedom of speech, potentially gun toting , citizens




I never said there is not a role for government, there is a perfectly good outline for one in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I just said that I don't agree with the government being the support system for people. You work, get paid, and support yourself. You pay taxes from your income to operate the government. In our current state of affairs, the government has grown beyond what is needed, and is becoming a nanny state. People rely on the government to do the everyday things they should be doing on their own.



I pay taxes to operate a government which is supposed to represent me,,,its a circle


Supposed to represent, yes. Not sure they really do that anymore, but yes. Support and take care of by over taxation and violation of personal rights, no.
