Having a government and societal structure is a good thing, so I'm not an anarchist; however, just because I want a government that works - that doesn't make me a socialist either.

Ideally, I'd love the 18th century model to prevail; however, when we elect people (who are supposed to represent us) who have no interest in solving actual problems and doing the business of government - on top of either throwing money at problems or creating new government programs - something is terribly wrong with our government.

And as a side note: if we want to stop tax collection then we'd need to repeal the 16th amendment to the constitution.

I know. The sixteenth amendment was passed during the early 20th century along with prohibition and FDR's great society. Apparently our ancestors were especially stupid then.
