Governments derive their just power from the CONSENT gibsmedats.
You're right, but only because we (the producers) are too busy getting up, going to work, cashing our paychecks, paying taxes, bills, mortgage, non-subsidized health care, hoping to have enough cash to grab a six pack to drink while watching the football game to do anything about.
Ultimately, that means we, the producers, consent to the gibsmedats taking over. We will continue to consent, because anything else would jeopardize our version of the American dream, which is already dead. So, we're remaining complacent and complicit over something that doesn't exist. Bottom line? It's time to go Galt. Or, shut up, accept the chains of slavery while drinking that beer and watching that game.
