He and the other 535 leaders we elect.What do these leaders do then? They make laws, treaties, economic policies, etc, decisions on how we live. Should each of us make our own laws?No, you added the last bit. I specifically rejected it. It's not the role of our leaders to decide how we live. And that's the core of our political dysfunction. Liberals keep trying to create government that does exactly that.Sounds like a lot of double talk to me. You want the leaders of the gov't to be chosen by the people and then those leaders make the decisions on how we live.This is a key point. Government isn't there to tell us how to live, or to dictate what form society will take. Government is there to protect our freedom to create the kind of society we want, voluntarily and collaboratively. It's the difference between a referee, and a coach. Liberals want government to be the coach, to decide for us what the good life looks like, and the force everyone to comply.
The president makes laws? What fricken shit-hole country do you live in?
