Politicians wouldn't chance what you describe with talk radio and the internet now as the gate keepers.
Some of you guys are so negative I don't see how you get out of the house. Let's go to the ball game! Yeah, that sounds good but it will probably rain.

I discussed the importance of abolishing the income tax because of its tendency to form a habit of servility in the souls of a people that accept it. Servility of soul is bad not only in itself, it is also an open door through which will soon walk the abuses of ambitious government power. Leaders who find themselves with governmental power over a servile people will be quick to conclude that such a people exist to serve them.
