    Open your eyes. Corporations already heavily influence policy. Stop making that possible by decentralizing the power!

      We’ve already had four years of Trump to know that’s not what will happen. The only power he’ll relinquish is power over corporations. Individuals will not be getting more rights, unless it’s to hurt other individuals.

        I don’t disagree, I just hope people of different views can come together and see that decentralizing the power structure might be worth considering if you don’t like the amount of power we handed one man. That means cutting the federal government and moving those programs to local government, private charities, or the bin.

          Economics of scale already proves that to be a fantasy.

          Also, private charities and local governments can’t do anything about multi national corporations creating pollution or price fixing.

            Pollution is a property rights issue, don’t need anything beyond private property rights and a court system to cover that. Price fixing is caused by government created barriers to entry, artificially restricting competition. In other words, price fixing is a problem caused by government overreach, so obviously government isn’t the solution.
