I’m not sure how anyone can expect to be a united member of a “one man, one vote” politic, commercialized, where energy/resource-control through intangible MONEY has replaced tangible, organic, societal coalition building, if that “intangible” representation of control contradicts my “tangible” vote!
When my tax-money promotes public policy in opposition to my nature, I’m forced to live psychologically-impaired (in ACTUAL schizophrenia) and cannot, then, be held accountable for my actions. Who actually believes a Democratic-Republic can function under a legitimizing Constitution of legally incompetent voters? (That might explain the Republican circus act!)
A contractually obligated military (or any government contracted service) cannot use my benefaction to influence public policy without my consent! All companies contracting with or for my government must disclose all their spending, especially that used to influence public policy. Until this disclosure is made mandatory, I am as unaccountable for my civic actions as that intangible symbol (money) that has now come to equal my vote remains so!
Obama can at least begin to remedy this insanity by issuing an Executive Order requiring all federal contractors, THAT RECEIVE (and “profit” from!) MY TAX-DOLLARS, disclose how my money is voting!
