Nice graphic!
And that path of least resistance is paved with printed, unbacked fiat dollars from the unaccountable Federal Reserve, allowing for massive government debt, steady inflation and manipulated interest rates.

Remove bribes to reduce the Cartel. Many bills would not pass because a majority of both constituents and Congressmen / Senators oppose.

1. Eliminate Department of Transportation. Sunset transporation taxes in 5 years. Tell oil companies and other tax collectors to send transportation taxes directly to the state in which collected. States have 5 years to vote replacement taxes (or not).
2. Eliminate the ATF. Let the states collect all sin taxes and be responsible for alcohol, tobacco, guns..and bank robberies.
The FBI does bank robbery due to personal quirks of a long dead FBI director. The FBI should focus onn terrorism, cybercrime.
3. Eliminate the Department of Education and the stupid grants to Universities to study stupid things.
4. Eliminate the EPA as much as possible. Take away the carrots and sticks that the EPA and other regulatory agencies use, often in a quid pro quo for votes of Senators/Congressmen.
5. You get the idea. Shift the corruption to each state. Then let the states compete with each other and experiment with what works.
that is very cool. but didn’t kill all the rinos or donkeys. why not? just cuz they run away (hudna) doesn’t mean you don’t kill them off.
