The fly in the ointment is this:  the government is now controlled by
the very forces that want to end government, period, and exchange it
for  total control by themselves, the elite wealthy corporatistas.
As I see it, "the market" is a euphemism for "corporate control". The
American electoral process must be seen these days as part of the
corporate control feedback loop, a kind of quality control litmus
test for the cultural, capital controllers. In many of the
bureaucracies -- the US Forest Service comes to mind, especially --
the controlling corporate elites are the de facto administrators.
