Yet the abuses began soon after the Constitution was ratified. Even the first president sent out the troops to kill tax resisters. It took less than a century before a president saw himself as occupying a holy office in the national church, an office whose piety and purity was perfected in wartime. Thank goodness the rest of the world has moved on. We know that the state is a vast enterprise for declaring all sorts of things legal for itself that would be illegal for us, such as burning down religious communities, extorting and bribing businesses, and skimming off a third of people's income without their permission.
Private business does that already.
What a joke. The nation's business is freedom, not obedience to the Maximum Leader. If Clinton is forced to hit the road, let's just leave the office vacant. After a year or two of freedom from the presidency, we'll all realize we're better off without one. Think about all the money that won't be sucked down the election rathole.
