Elections are not a sure sign of a healthy republic

"A man is no less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years."
~ Lysander Spooner

As James Bovard says, if the government continues to be lawless and oppressive, elections in America today are just "reverse slave auctions," where slaves choose their masters. Elections do not equal freedom.

Freedom means that no government is confiscating one-third of your wealth each year. Freedom means that the state leaves you alone. We do not live in a free country.
