[quote=XBoxBoy]If so, how do you control the corruption of the government by interests that want to regulate based on what’s in their interests?[/quote]
Voting provides some “free market” values to government, which is a good thing,[/quote]
My problem with this is that the corruption is already so deep (and so is apathy among the voters) that correcting things through the ballot box seems completely hopeless to me.
[quote=sdduuuude]In the US, the only hope lies in the balance of power, which is a pretty good idea.
Eventually, someone has to bring up acts of Congress to the Supreme Court, which has to declare that “Congress can’t do x, y, and z”
Can the Supreme Court bring down the Federal Reserve, I wonder? I don’t know.[/quote]
I don’t see the balance of power solving anything either. It appears to me that all branches of the govt have been successfully coop’d. (Not that I don’t think the balance of power wasn’t a brillant move by our forefathers, just that it seems to have been long ago lost)
