I don't understand why a belief that we live in a democracy creates a democracy. I think everybody knows that we don't vote on every bill, our representatives do that. But they are supposed to represent us.
I agree that there shouldn't be an income tax, and someday I think we will return to that, but it won't be because we voted for it, it will be because the representatives, who we voted for, voted for it.
Mob rule is dangerous. But that's not how our country is run, even if people believe it.
I'm not sure I understand it either. But it is happening, all around us. Our rights are trampled, people answer to the government every year or every quarter, and none of what is happening is reflected in the highest law of our republic - The Constitution.
Belief is a powerful substitute for law when it comes to government. If no one thinks it's wrong for government to trample your rights, who is going to right the wrongs after it happens?
