I asked my dad about that, why the soldiers didn't overthrow the government when it was clearly communist back in the 60s, and he said "Some people like to get paid."

He knew back then how far gone things were.

It's all a giant grift, from the top to the bottom. The federal government should be two guys who tell everyone "no" and maybe some courts.

That worked in rome till they gave the peasants a say, then things degenerated rapidly. The US is already well beyond that point.

The way voting worked in Rome was something like this.

* All the young, noble, rich men gather in town square. If they agree on who should be the next consuls, then the election is over.
* If they can't agree, then the old, noble, rich men get to choose.
* If they can't agree, then the young rich men get to choose.
* If they can't agree, then the old rich men get to choose.
* If they can't agree then the peasants can choose.

Each group had a vested interest in making the final decision, because having the next group choose would be the worst thing ever for them.

Oddly enough, it was rare the young, noble rich men couldn't figure things out on their own.
