Rule of Law can only exist within a population that is morally well-grounded, honest, and that has the good will to make it work. A citizen must **know** that he can trust his neighbor, the courts, and the police to be honest in their dealings.

For a civilization to thrive it must have 4 things ( minimum):

1) Secure borders.
2) Honest courts and police to enforce contracts and to put criminals in prison.
3) Secure and dependable property rights.
4) A morally well-grounded and honest people with the good will to make it work.

By the way,...No one in the U.S. owns property any longer. We are instead renters to the government. If we fail to pay our property taxes, the government will evict us.

And....

A major part of all property taxes is a MASSIVE and bloated collectivist government school system that is dedicated to indoctrinating our nation's youth into worshiping godless government communism.

I would suggest that not all and not even a majority have to be “a morally well-grounded and honest people” just those that are afforded the privilege to vote.

People always forget that when this country was founder only property owners were allowed to vote.

Things started to go downhill the minute they let “everyone” vote. Voting should be a privilege that has to be earned.
