A revolutionary war was fought in North America 224 years ago under
the banner "no taxation without representation". When that war was
won, the principle of representative democracy was expanded, in the
form of a Constitution and Bill of Rights, to the legislative and
judicial aspects of public life. This system has withstood, in the
20th century, two world wars, and has made the United States and the
free world the predominant force on this earth.

Now you want to throw it out and go back to feaudalism?
