Quote:You have that backwards. Politicians by nature want to rule us, who they view as lesser humans. Government is the tool weapon of the politicians. More government equals a more powerful weapon to subjugate the masses. And this was recognized a long time before Obama became president. He has taken the imperial presidency to a new level, but that was just the next step in a process that has been increasing over many administrations.

 

To govern the country, you have two choices: a political system, or a dictatorship.   Political systems have to have politicians.   The Constitution specifies a political system.   Not a dictatorship.   So, you can hate politicians as much as you want, but just realize, the alternative is so much worse.

 

But we're not going to have a dictatorship.   If Trump gets elected, he will go to Washington and he'll have to participate in a political system with Constitutional checks and balances.   He'll have to deal with politicians.   He'll have to be a politician.   And that means he'll be spending a lot of time explaining to his supporters why he can't do so many of the things he's promised.  

 

A President doesn't have the power to impose tariffs without the approval of Congress.   A President can't build a wall on the Mexican border without an appropriation from Congress.   A President can't force Apple to build Iphones in the United States.   A President can't impose taxes, and a President can't cut taxes.   The fact is, Trump cannot do most of the things he's promising.   Unless he works within the political system and becomes a politician.   He has to operate under the United States Constitution.  

 

Anyway, back to what you said about politicians.   The United States Constitution specifies that we will have politicians running this country.   So unless you want to do away with the Constitution, and impose a dictatorship, you're stuck with politicians.
