RE: A question for the constitutional scholars

in #politics6 years ago

Powerless to stop it. There are numerous things, some you mentioned, that the government shouldn't be able to do. But they do it anyway. The people are complicit in its size and scope. But even worse, they still believe that the myth is actually real.

Sort:  

I wonder. The US Constitution is written very similar to the Swiss constitution. They have turned out much better than us under similar conditions with only a few glaring differences.

  1. No interventionist wars
  2. A more decentralized government
  3. Most taxes go to local governments (and are lower overall)

The major difference is that the US is a superpower. There is no other like it. Your 3 reasons why all boil down to the US having a monopoly on the reserve currency. A country (like the US) must have interventionist wars, must be very centralized, and most taxes must go to fund war and debt, if they want to continue to be the superpower. If the Swiss Franc (?) was the reserve currency, or any other country had it, it would be the same outcome for them (at some point in time). Political power (any, even a constitution)) is the ring, no one can handle it without succumbing to the darkness.
