I wonder what would happen if we created competition for the gov't. Say, make each state compete with each other, attempting to 'sell' services (roads, welfare, real estate, etc.) for the cheapest rates (taxes). That might force the gov't to radically change. One might say that exists now, as people can choose the state they're in. But what if the state were not restricted to only 'selling' within state lines, and the federal gov't had competition as well? A true capitialist-democrasy.
Actually, states do compete with each other for Federal money. -- Jon Lebkowsky http://www.well.com/~jonl jonl@onr.com cdb, wfm, vb et al
