The Swiss have a government responsive to the will of the people.

I'm envious.

It’s hard to even get a work visa there.Unless you have Swiss heritage and a good skill set not available from current citizens.

Don’t worry, the global ruling class will find a way to thwart the will of the swiss voters, like they do everywhere else.

I have long believed that the Swiss canton-autonomy model is far superior to the US Constitutionally based “Republic.” Their model has kept their federal government at bay for 800 years, while ours did not even last a century. It is often said by observers that the federal (national) government in Switzerland is so irrelevant that even their constituents do not know who they are. Inasmuch as Switzerland was around for centuries before the War of Independence, why did the Founding Fathers not choose this model rather than the failed one they did construct, if their goal was to limit government and promote liberty?

Either the US Constitution is useless to stop collectivism and tyranny since politiwhores can disregard it with impunity, or it is complicit in it.
