Believe me, I arrived at that conclusion a long time ago.
You didn't refute jack. Of course I'd rather ignore you. You haven't got anything to contribute. No evidence, no examples and not even so much as a nod to the questions posed to you. You just arbitrarily crown yourself victor for no reason, making you the winner in your own mind alone.
And yes, once again. You refuse to answer the question. I'm taking that as an "I don't know but I'm not man enough to admit it" answer.

Actually, your constitution was made as a safeguard against that. The big problem is people ignoring it. It's not impossible. That's how it was for many centuries before Roosevelt completely undermined it with his New Deal nonsense. Before all that, all government did was keep the peace and otherwise leave people alone. Government's powers were kept restricted so that it did it's job as the constitution described and no further.
Right now, you're following in the same footsteps that led the empire of Rome to ruin in the end. Can people wise up in time to avoid going down that road? We'll see
What kind of government do libertarians want? It's very simple: If it's not in the constitution, you don't do it. End of story, no exceptions.
