That's why it matters which leaders we choose. There are relatively few people in the United States who actually have the power to make important decisions.

The Constitution, for example, vests 100 percent of the power of the federal government in only 537 individuals

It a shame that our governemnt wasn't set up with a "Constitution" that limited the power of these 537 individuals to a limited set of defined tasks and said something like this at the end: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

If they had set up the government like that, we wouldn't have to worry about too much power in the hands of too few men. Oh, well.
