BC,

You are right.

The risks of a powerful government are almost impossible to avoid. Government can tax you as much as its wants, print any amount of money it wants, change the rules mid stream, put you in jail for using another currency as legal tender etc...

Until now, those risks were extremely low.

However, 3 things changed.

1. Over the years corrupt and incompetent politicians made promises that government can never keep and created massive public excesses.

2. The government/banking/Federal reserve cartel consolidated its power and fueled massive private excesses on top of the public excesses.

3. We elected various combinations of corrupt, idealistic, delusional, and economically retarded socialists to power instead of staying with the corrupt rinos we had before that.
