TheRealMafoo said: We have several cities that have more people in it then there country. They have twice the tax rate we do (average 60%), and they are not a pure democracy. If you want to be a truly free country, you need to realize some things just don't work as well. Nothing comes without a price. Giving a very large portion of our money (power) to the Government, and then expecting them to take care of us, is a dangerous road I don't want to go down.

The US is not even close to a pure democracy either. We are a constitutional republic. Ad as for going down that road, well we are already quite a ways down it. The police and fire department are both government controlled and fairly powerful and expensive operations. I assume you would not been in favor of privatized law enforcement would you?
