Right, roads. And since your land is between my land and my friends land, and we all are free and you don't want your land to be a hinderance,
we'll just place a highway here. I mean, we'll have to demolish your house since it's in the way and all, but the other 80 acres of your free land
is still yours. Right? And then my Mom is to the North, so we need to make a junction there. And the ocean to the south, that's food! Just walk with
me, we'll discuss this.
Oh! I'm sorry to inform the head of Freedom that my poor neighbor feel while walking a hilly path and died. Guess we'll just split his acreas up
best as we can and continue being free.
And here-in lies the problem. People group together to gain advantage. With no taxes to pay for Public Services like Police they come at individuals
ill equipped to fight them off.
"With great power comes great responsibility", taught to Spider Man by his mother. Problem is, we aren't all Spider Man, some of us are Venom.
Freedom would be a burned char in no time, with evil arising to take control of this 'great place'.
It seems like such a great idea, but without people willing and able to stand up for such a cause it would surely be attacked and fail. To be able
they must be equipped, which comes out of their own pockets or paid for by the government. No taxes limits those options, as well as making it
impossible for the Nation of Freedom to help support Industry (or Commercial or Residental, for that matter).
While some will be happy with just ONE acre of land and making do in the true old style, many now that they have tasted the flavor of Electricity,
Internet, and other such things could never leave such indefinately behind. How would such things be possible in this new 'from scratch' Nation of
Freedom?
Now, you want a Flat Tax across the board? I'm in. Problem is, just like every Government previous, Corrupt individuals rise to positions of power
and Corrupt the process. It's not America or the Government that's flawed, it's Corrupt people who have risen to power and destroyed what this
Nation was about. The Constitution is a just writing, as is the Bill of Rights. Most admendmants make sense. The crap is usually put in by the
Corrupt, which today are many in number.
Regardless of your Idea, or how amazing and pure it is, there must be a way to protect it from Corruption. Kings felt if only one ruled then only
one could corrupt. Sadly Corrupts rose to be Kings. Democracies felt if the Majority rule it would take large numbers of Corrupts to destroy the
ideals... again they rose to the challenge. If Religion ruled then God would lead. But the voice of man is what teaches the words of God, and Corrupts
have risen to power there as well.
It's not the idea, it's not the principle. Many have these, and many models are outstanding. (No greater government ON PAPER exists than
Communism. On PAPER it feeds and houses EVERYONE equally and all things needed are taken care of. It's the heads of state syphoning off the top that
leave the poor farmer starving even though he grew the food to begin with. Corruption and Logistics kill Communism more than anything else). The
problem is how to keep these Idea's free and pure, how to fight off CORRUPTION.
Seriously, I want changes too. However, the US isn't the problem. The Constitution isn't the problem. Neither was England, or the Church. The
problem was, and is, Corruption.
