What makes them superior is us. You obey their laws don't you? You go to the trouble of getting a driver's license, a passport, registration, etc? That's what gives them power. And the money everyone keeps forking out to them, whatever they demand, people do.

And most importantly of all, we keep voting theses corporate whores into positions of power and responsibility.

PROVE IT. PROVE that the corporate whores actually got the most votes--particularly in the primaries. (Good luck w/ that.)

Are you suggesting voting figure manipulation or corruption? It would not surprise me and sorry to say it would be a pleasant surprise, because since 2016 my feeling has been has been increasingly that large sections of the voting public knowingly vote for harm to be inflicted on others.

YES--electronic vote-flipping has been going on since 2000, at least--it's what the computers ARE FOR, & WHY the law doesn't allow the public, not even ELECTIONS OFFICIALS, to scrutinize the software those computers run on. Read BLACK BOX VOTING.

Not "we". The last time I voted was for Ron Paul. And before that it was 20 years. Since that it's been another 17. The only thing I ever vote for is against any kind of law or tax that I see is a detriment to my finances or freedom. PERIOD. I wouldn't vote for myself because I know I'd get a puffed up ego which goes with the territory of being a voted in "leader". People have asked me why I don't run for "office". And I said because there shouldn't be an office to run for.

SO...when we stop paying all taxes, don't drive or go abroad, we're all living on the sidewalk & never buy anything to which a sales tax is affixed, Congress will stop having power?

They have all the ENFORCERS behind them. That's what makes them superior to us. We aren't willing to aim small miss small at the ENFORCERS.
