You and all your followers will not understand this, but you will always be dominated by someone else. There will always be the powerful and the weak. The only question is how that power operates. Is it through Politics? Money? or Religion?
Right this moment, all over America, people are in a place they do not want to be, doing something that they do not want to do, with everything they do from when they can eat to when they can go to the bathroom circumscribed by their masters. When you include commute time, this control over their lives extends for 10 hours each day, and if you include lunch hour at a cafeteria, 11 hours. You sleep 8, so that leaves 5 hours for you.
And you worry about the government? The government interferes in your life almost not at all, except to insure that their is a floor on your income, and that you can retire at 67 from that madness. They ensure that the place where you are enslaved is safe, and they put various other conditions on your slavers. And all the slaves can think about is how awful it would be if they were freed from slavery by cutting their chains and having the slaves allowed access to the vaults of the slavers. Because the slavers threaten them, the slaves decry all the "job-killing regulations" that put safety guards around sharp blades, require dangerous chemical spills to be cleaned up, and so on.
There are many forms of power. Government is the one you get a vote on, and the more you use it to your advantage, the better it will get. The more you shrink it, the more we re-enter a feudal society where inheritance determines your station in life and the 90% are serfs.
Good luck with that.
Thank God religion is now an option and we can ignore that once awful source of power.
The government is my single biggest expense. The federal government alone takes 12.4% of my income for social security, 2.9% for medicare and about 20% for income tax. That's 35% of my income.
Yes, I get some return for that, but I would much rather invest in retirement and medical insurance myself, or decide not to, and pay for everything I want now covered by that 20% as fee-for-service. The fees would be lower and the service would be better. And I'd rather have no part in funding the American government's wars of conquest.
And nobody would tell me I couldn't smoke or drink or inject whatever I want, take whatever medicine I decide benefits me, or demand that I ask permission to carry whatever tools I think are necessary to defend myself.
I get to vote on government? What are you smoking? Yes, I get to vote, but my vote decides nothing. So I deregistered about eight years ago, and refuse to participate in a sham that supports a system that does everything by violence. What do you think a "law" is? It's a license for a cop to forcefully kidnap people and cage them like animals. No thank you.
Q: How many voters does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. Voting changes nothing.
