Good article, as far as it goes - the author misses, or ignores, the fact that Congress has abdicated much of its Legislative power to the bureaucracies, who can, and do, create and enforce ‘regulations’ which levy taxes and criminal sanctions, without even lip-service to ‘representation’ by the electorate....
A far more dangerous development than the venality of ‘public servants’......
It is an excellent article. Note that the bureaucracies support the politicians who support them. They have unions that donate millions to get those representatives elected.
The major strength of this article is that it demolishes the myth that government is benevolent. Like it or not, that is the myth that powers socialism and fascism both.
The biggest problem that we have in this country is that a significant minority of the people worship the State as god.
