There are many maxims about this:
The people are always one meal away from revolution.
The people vote their wallet.
The people vote for the guy who gives them more free stuff.
The founders established who they trust, and it was not the
goverenment. (any government)
Those that are the professional politicians, constantly seek
to change this.
So, who do you trust?
Clearly I trust myself and I trust a balance of power to keep absolutely everyone in check. However, there are many who seek to upset the internal balance of power within the USA. Those people are asking for disaster.
