so why don't we balance the power
Our republic tried
Tree of liberty and all that
The aim should be to prepare the nation for armed conflict or economic collapse.
if balance were everyone's self interest. . . ***cough*** FreeMarketLaissezFaireBlahBlah ***coughcoughcoughLUNGcough***
The state's duty is to represent the people on our behalf, make laws where necessary, collect taxes where necessary, and uphold those laws through legal services. It also has an oath to promote the general welfare, which many can and do argue is a simple way of saying it has the right to keep people from ending up broke, homeless, destitute, and with no way out other than a bullet
The republic failed.
The state does have some responsibility to help during a recession or collapse, I suppose. It’s an organizing, unifying force (so long as it is kept small or decentralized, neither of which our government is)
The republic was manipulated
omg look it begins again
see we're right back at square one!
and we're gonna STAY at square one because both corps and gov't have too much power over each other
so there's no clear way to blame anyone here
The republic failed from the very beginning.
"I tried to give you a democracy, but they chose a republic and they can keep it!"
Corporations control governments. Sorry.
Corprotism is the evil, not necessarily corporations or capatalism. In the same stroke that government corruption and tyranny is evil, not necessarily the govt
governments control corporations, sorry
fug republics constitutional monarchy is best
Bullshit
okay
Governments control corporations? Really? That's the hill you want to fight for?
do you make more than minimum wage?
yes?????
No.
I don't
are you unemployed????
Nope.
so you're in the military?
Nope.
well just tell me then
where's the catch
What catch are you referring to?
We're back on the blame carousel again. We know who and why causes problems. At this point is like asking chicken or egg
Brb I'm clocking out of work
how do you make less than is legally mandated by the government
The biggest issue we need to overcome is universal suffrage. If everyone can vote, the votes are easily manipulatable imo. The founding fathers originally made sure there wasn’t universal suffrage to prevent the fracturing of society
And here I thought we were cooking fried chicken omelettes @thedarkness05
@INNYGMATYK dont tempt me. Those used to be breakfasts before ruck marches
hahaha - have you ever put ham AND bacon on a pizza? 👀
