True.

Willie Sutton was once asked why he robbed banks and he said because that is where the money was.

Well, there’s money everywhere, but it is concentrated more so in a bank.

Other people built the bank, the money is centralized and you don’t even have to search as people put big signs up that say BANK.

Same with large, organized, centralized government. People gather the power, and then comes along a political robber, thank you very much.

This is what the left doesn’t understand. They don’t realized that putting all power in one place is like giving all your money to Madoff. It’s like going to sea in a ship with no water tight bulkheads.

You are just putting a big sign up to political psychopaths that says, “Here’s All The Power”.

It can’t happen here. Yeah, right.

This is a crystal-clear analysis of the weakness of centralized power as any sort of safeguard of life, liberty, and/or property.

Even if the initial architects are benign (which in itself is virtually unheard of), the artifice will be stormed and occupied by psychopaths.

In the case of the current US presidential coup, the architects are psychopaths who are only waiting to cement total power before opening the gates to their inner dark.
