#^it's not broken, it's captured when you allow politicians to determine that which is bought and sold, the first things bought and sold will be politicians. such a system, like all systems of legal plunder will devolve to story time about why the capture of the system is vital and moral. those taken in by such justifications by faithlessness will, over time, lose control and degenerate to rule by rube who know no other way. and that is the death of both the republic and the high trust society. it’s really not complex - big government becomes a form of organized crime that ultimately forgets that it’s a mafia. you cannot fix it or change it because people do not change and they will always respond to incentives in predictable ways. so all one can do it tear it out, root and stem, until there is no point in buying politicians because they have nothing of value to sell. #Government_is_the_enemy #free_markets #politics #incentives_matter
