I ran across an interesting article the other day discussing the growing level of hatred in American politics. The author made some good points, but I think he missed the fundamental problem – centralization of power in Washington D.C.
The founders called this “consolidation” and many warned that it would be destructive to our liberty.
Centralization of power is the problem, and we were warned it would be.
When you have all the important decisions being made by a small group of people in a far away government, of course people are going to fight tooth and nail over control of that institution. @mmaharrey10th pic.twitter.com/TCysAGBLvV
