I hold this Truth to be self-evident
The 2nd American Republic will be conceived at a keyboard and will elucidate an ideal that will propagate at network speed. It will be such a compelling truth that the statement of it alone will rock the foundation of the 1st American Republic.
I further believe that the foundation, the very first principle on which self-government exists shall be re-established and affirmed, to wit, all legitimate government exists by the willing consent of the governed.
The founding principle of any legitimate government is based on the ability to guarantee to the people inalienable rights and freedoms, and the free and unfettered exchange of ideas and ideals and to live secure lives free of intimidation and fear. The first duty of all government is to secure for the people an opportunity to seek truth.
The fundamental premise for establishing a 2nd American Republic is that a people, with a wink, a blink, and a nod can demonstrate to each other in subtle and private ways the failure of their most venerable civic institution and within days, if not hours, could, without violence, disassemble the walls that bind them, one stone after another. Just as certainly as the Great Wall of China was constructed, one stone after another, the people will reassemble the foundation of governance to support the edifice of self-government that better serves their need.
The percentage of the American population that has become the local, county, state and federal bureaucracy of administering law, law that the people in their wisdom have instituted, has in itself become a burden of sufficient size that all attempts at controlling the cost and growth of government has thwarted reform from within and without, and that government has become the fundamental problem that stands between the people and their pursuit of truth and happiness.
The vulnerability of this, OUR, established government, is nowhere more evident than in their financial underpinning. Government derives revenue from consumption taxes and when the people have no employment their consumption declines. The Government also derives revenue from gambling, and gaming and when the people in their wisdom decide to alter or re-invent their governing institutions, a very real avenue will be to willfully limit those voluntary gaming activities curtailing a revenue source that will severely impact government’s ability to meet fiscal obligations. As we can see from situations abroad, the loss of confidence in government is rapid and irreversible when the fiscal underpinning of government is in question.
If you consider your Government to be the best possible iteration of the principles established by freedom loving individuals, then support your government with daily donations at the lottery kiosk. If you think a new system of government has a better chance of providing a more secure future for you and those you love, then stop gratuitous consumption and walk past the lottery machine.
When the people withhold their consent, the government will free fall, collapsing from political gravity and fiscal bankruptcy, and no amount of State Violence can prevent or forestall that eventuality.
