I reject that theory that people cannot trump systems.

You reject it but then support systems trumping people.

The free market is people, everyone chooses their own actions, in the context of the incentives they face.

Politically imposed systems are just that, systems, that are imposed by force on people.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of independence pretty much by himself. It is the foundation of our society.

Thomas Jefferson would be appalled by what the Federal Govt has become. He would be leading a second revolution if he were alive today.
