Choose your elections wisely

So, you’re planning to be a responsible American on Election Day and cast your vote. Fine, but ask yourself why. Is it any more than a ritual? Is the engine of government something you can control through elections you don’t control? Do you think if you put a voice for liberty in the Oval Office that voice would last long? Are any of the candidates even selling liberty? Are you looking to buy it, or do you just want in on the scam?
Further, what would motivate an institution – government – which is fundamentally anti-liberty to surrender any of its power? Government has been for sale to the highest bidders for a long time. Nothing gets changed without their approval. Are you one of those highest bidders? Probably not.
