But consider. There isn't really any democracy. Even when the majority likes a particular idea, each person of the majority thinks a little differently about how and why he likes the idea. And if they all opened up to each other about what they really thought, loads of factions would appear in this majority, and they would become a whole bunch of little minorities.

The whole thing called democracy is a tidbit of imaginary virtual reality.

Cool

Democracy is dead, is nothing but a whore house of corruption.
If someone wants to promote his place of residency / country he/she does the extra work voluntary and not bribe with free money.
Before democracy someone contributed his service on honorable basis and sales tax was the only tax.

REAL Democracy never existed... except, maybe, when the population was as low as a few hundred people.

The Democracy idea has always been the focus, placed there by the small group that really rules in a group-dictatorship style... whatever that kind of government might be called.

How many People in the USA? Maybe 340 million.
How many People in the actually ruling part of Federal Government? Probably under a thousand... unless you include those who pull their strings... those hidden behind the curtain, on the back-stage.

The only ways they can keep us in bondage is to make us think that we control our lives, through Democracy. And, to give us just enough freedom to make us think that we are free. But look at our freedom in simple income tax. Sure, almost all of us earn a little under the table. But the simple, honest people among us are slaves to the income tax. And that is almost nothing when you consider all kinds of regulations and other taxes that don't let us do what we want.

Government doesn't need our tax money. Taxes are there to keep us poor enough that we can't afford to work our way out of bondage. Bitcoin and the Internet has changed things a little. But if we don't get out there to really set ourselves free, THEY will use even Bitcoin to enslave us more.
