Anarchy is no form of government at all. It's the absence of government. Who is promoting that, you knee-jerk extremist?

The Constitution envisions a strong central government? Bull$hit. That's why they adopted federalism INSTEAD of a strong central government. That's why they adopted checks and balances even among the three branches. That's why they adopted a limited form of government, BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT A STRONG CENTRAL GOVERNMENT. They'd had enough of Kings!! That's what the Revolutionary war was about.

That's why the Bill of Rights was enacted, protecting people and the states FROM the central government. The 10th Amendment reads, "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

There wasn't even an income tax until 1862, long after the Founding Fathers were dead and buried. It was enacted only to support the Civil War.

Given your complete lack of knowledge and understanding of where we've been, it's easy to see that you have no idea where we should be going.
