Wouldn't it be a wonderful United States of America - if - we had a bunch of bureaucrats making laws against every conceivable way that the citizens might in some small way harm themselves - and - tax the citizens heavily to pay the police to enforce this protection?

"if - we had a bunch of bureaucrats making laws"

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had a system where, every two years, we could throw out those bureaucrats who write laws the citizens don't want?

Wait a minute ...
