So when people say things like: "our founding fathers would turn over in their grave", the people who say that do not realize their ideas are dated.

I don't think it will EVER become dated to believe that the government doesn't possess superior rights to an individual's wealth and productivity.

When you surrender your right to hold governmental representatives/leaders accountable for how the public's money is spent, then you've effectively surrendered your inalienable rights as a human.

In the future people will be very existential and we will have one world government.

I sure hope it more closely resembles our constitutional republic than it does the dysfunctional model envisioned for the UN.
