There are so many things wrong with a system where a special group is allowed to steal from everyone else & tell everyone what to do, but then we are supposed to somehow hold them accountable at the same time... with votes every 4 years 🙄
The very idea that they only have powers we delegate to them, but then they can steal from all of us (when we don't have that power to delegate) kinda demonstrates the whole thing was a fraud to begin with.
The goal of the American experiment was a good one, create the smallest govt ever in order to allow markets to thrive. But it was a total failure. We have the largest & most powerful govt ever, run by insane pedophiles, who have no problem risking the destruction of the entire world.
The problem is that the primary way to hold any organization accountable is via withdrawal of financial support. The power to steal or tax destroys that means of imposing accountablity. It's so destructive that it creates an inverted morality where people do better the more they steal & control & destroy.
A constitution can't fix legitimized theft or the inverted morality it creates. We have to remove the power to tax & make all economic transactions voluntary. Thankfully Bitcoin helps with that. But we've got a long way to go before people let go of their religious belief in govt.
The only thing that really distinguishes govt from a business or charity is the power to tax. If funding is voluntary then a "govt" has to compete for financial support & can go out of business like any other organization. If the only transactions we consider legitimate are voluntary ones, then we have achieved an anarcho-capitalist society.
