Democracy works on a local level, and local governments serve a meaningful purpose.
Democracy works poorly, if at all, on a national level. In many ways, it is simply "mob rule."
Serious questions:
- Does the federal government serve a meaningful purpose today?
- What benefit does the federal government provide for US citizens that cannot be performed (better?) by local governments and private industry?
- Are the interests of the US federal government the same as the interests of the American people?
Outside of coordinating efforts during WW2, I don't see much (if any) benefit of having a federal government... which is massively bloated and expensive for the American people to maintain.
My opinion?
Decentralization and downsizing of massive nation states--along with their monopolies on violence and money creation and distribution--is coming.
