State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

And that DOESN’T include the INFLATION TAX that ROBS EVERY DOLLAR HOLDER of many percent of purchasing power. GOVERNMENT IS THE GREATEST EVIL EVER CREATED BY MAN.
OK, cannot disagree about the tax nobody gets to vote on INFLATION.
Seems when paper money was just a simpler way to handle gold and silver on deposit INFLATION was pretty limited.
But as I drive on the interstate (built by the Government) this morning to go shopping at BJ’s for stuff that was ordered and paid for on the Internet created by the Government, USING a credit card through that internet from Banking that was essentially created and backed by the Government (for good or ill).
You should read American History about how OFTEN Private Banks often collapsed and those that put their money in them LOST it without legal recourse.
If I have an “ODD Charge” on my Credit card I can legally put a HOLD on it and almost always if it was really fraud get MY MONEY BACK. WHY?
GOVERMENT rules and regulations.
Even during the golden age of the Germanic Tribes, they had someone as a LEADER, and they supported that leader with the money of that time. Honor, Service in his Military efforts, working lands to feed them and so on.
So, they have Government.
The key as I see it is keeping government under the APPROVAL of the People. If a Leader got too tyrannical, they cut his throat and butchered his supporters.
Locally here in NH when a “Progressive” tried to get Drag Queen storys done here we had a town meeting and let them all know we’d remove them from office via recall elections.
Odd how when faced with losing their jobs they dropped the Drag Queen hour AND the Librarian trying to protect the gay crap for the children was fired that evening.
But let’s NOT VOTE you know… Just give the progressives that DO VOTE a free ride.
SMH, the “lesser evil”. Well, I’ll TAKE the Lesser if it keeps Drag Queens out of my children’s faces…
When I taught at the military academy, I asked my students if they were slaves. They all said no. Land of the free and all that. So I asked them how much their parents paid in Federal, state, local taxes, fees, registrations, etc. The cadets had a pretty clear understanding as they answered 50-55% of income. I then asked them how much their parents had left after paying for food, shelter, clothing, and medical care. They admitted … nothing was left. I asked if their parents could travel without permission. They responded, of course.
I then proceeded to explain that the plantation owner provided food, clothing, shelter, and medical care to his slaves and that he kept all the rest of the income. That they had to have permission of the overseer to leave the plantation. I reminded them that their parents needed a drivers license to travel the roadway and a passport to travel abroad.
My final question? Then explain to me how your parents are not slaves?
