>> But we have more than 2 centuries of it working,

We also have two centuries of free enterprise working under a democratic style of government. But it is on the brink of collapse due to an ever increasing number of political failures (SS, Medicare, unemployment compensation, etc.) which eventually will, without the slightest doubt, end in a tax revolt.

Our government was established in such a way that longevity was likely. But not permanence. We are coming to a time when government is going to collapse under the weight of uncontrolled fiscal irresponsibility. Then what? Can you say it isn't possible the people will need to defend themselves from tyranny?
