The fewer taxpayers we have, the more tax users we have...then yes, he could probably win a third term if he could run again.

Fact is free market capitalism, private property rights, and individual liberty are NOT compatible with popular mass democracy. Our Founding Fathers understood this. That’s why they established a limited government constitutional republic. The Electoral College was set up to elect the president. US Senators were elected by state legislators, not popular vote. Voting in federal elections was limited only to property owners. I now see the wisdom of that model. Popular mass democracy leads to unlimited government which leads to socialism. Our Founding Fathers got it. Too bad we don’t.
