This is what happen when you replace a republic with a global democracy.
You take life and liberty, and put it in a license with privileges, and make permits and miles of paperwork to fill out to get anything done.
You make saving money impossible to get ahead, so everybody's living week to week.
Then to top it off you spend all the resources in foreign wars and middle east stability.
OF course society will break down.
Stupid motherfuckers.
