And because it is elected, we all have a say in changing it if we don't like the way they are using our love/money.

We have a need to modulate our tribal tendancies through a proxy-led Governing body. And if you don't believe how important that is, you only need to look at what happened in Yugoslavia when the common bond of governance was broken between several very large tribes.

So you can blither away all you like about paying taxes etc. Because anything has to be better than mourning the fact that a neighbouring tribe came in, raped and murdered your women-folk, slaughtered your men-folk and destroyed your property. This is why we have 'society' and 'government'.
Tribal warfare! what the hell do you thinks happening to our country at the moment.We've got a legalised civil war going on.Pressure group warfare;each group trying to destroy the other,in the hope of gaining control of the legislature.When they do, they'll force their convictions on everyone else.

If you don't think Yugoslavia can happen here, you'd better look and think again!
