Most people don't even vote

and most of the ones who do don't really think it does much good. The People don't raise taxes on themselves, those in power do. Look at the long list of local, state, and federal regulations dictated to us by government. There's literally millions of pages of laws written in the intentionally murky dialect of the professional bureaucratic class. Do you really think average people support them? I can't even build a deck onto my own house without having to get (i.e. pay for) a permit to do so. Such measures aren't passed by the people; they're passed by bureaucrats in unpublicized late night meetings. Most people are too wrapped up in the trials of day to day living and the bread and circuses of the entertainment industrial complex to pay any attention to the unintelligible ramblings of politicians. Sometimes I wonder if it's not by design, but I try not to go there.
