No. I never said anything like that.

America's war for independence was about "taxation" not the elimination of government. Not a single one of the founding fathers claimed that we could live without rules or a government to enforce them.

What do you mean by "modern" government?

The kind where black people and women get to vote? The kind where we get to vote for our Senators instead of having the government tell us who is going to represent us?

I feel that money plays too big of a role in who gets elected. So the government represents the will of the people with the most money.

Who do you think our government represents?

In would agree that those with money have the most influence.
