The problem is that these politicians are cheap by amazon / facebook standards. They would actually need to do their job for the benefit of all which is possible but hasn't been popular.

Your argument is a bird.

Did I say that his net worth would be able to fund what the government wants to do?

The reason you think it isn’t a good argument is because you can’t see how acting like the “for a good cause” despite the cause often NOT being something that others see as good, or the means of reaching that goal others see as effective, as justification to steal from people who already give far more than most

Amazon definitely benefits us. Can you imagine the USPS being logistically large enough to match their delivery speed? It'd be a nightmare.

I read that you are fundamentally willing to change or sacrifice. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you are going to LARP an Emperor and play RL fantasy then yes, that is a way.

The issue of truth in Pats post is the power over the country they have. Nobody, or body of Government is supposed to have that much power. One man becomes many and that is not the way here.

Look up why the battle of manzikert was lost. A faction of wealthy nobles took half the army back to Constantinople to seize the imperial throne. Romanos Diogenes did his best, but treason against the state lead to events that would eventually result in the fall of eastern Rome

You get less treasure from theft than tribute. Make them comply, don't murder the goose.

I’m talking about exercising anti-trust powers thst our government not only has but has used numerous times when companies have been anticompetitive. In addition, lobbying is a real problem. We’ve never before had so many congressmen and women he lawyers merely looking for a handout. No entity should have political power greater than the individual voters willing to cast a ballot on its behalf. Also, marginal tax rates will have to increase for us to maintain this level of spending

You'll be worse off fiscally and in goods if you break them up.

Tilt at windmills if you must, I do agree with your principles. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
