bugfuggles... I like that word...
BLUEHAWK..you are right and wrong. Our country is no where near what the founding fathers intended. It starts with an all powerful central federal government, income tax, goes on to the Supreme Court ( doing things it was never intended ), and goes on to the Federal Reserve System, which creates "fiat" money out of thin air and causes recessions and depressions at will. Our money was intended to be backed by gold or silver. Any SANE country in the last 6,000+ years of civilization has done it that way. Otherwise, your economy is out of control ( or in the control of central bankers ) which is what ours has been since 1913 when the income tax and the Federal Reserve System were put into law ( altho the 16th Amendment was not ratified by all the states and is technically iilegal ). Anyway, our country and its bloated centralized federal government is as far from what was framed in 1787 as The Communist Soviet Union was in 1919 compared to the regime of Czar Nicholas whom they overthrew.
