The very core of our government corruption...

Article 4 Section 4 of the constitution states we are to have a Republican government. One in which the rights of the individual is protected. Including the right to own and protect property. Our government takes our property every day with income taxes. All this money seeds corruption through out our government and through out the world. If we were a true Republic and our property rights were protected as the constitution says, our government would be small from lack of funds. The corruption would also be small as it is seeded with money. Our "representatives" through out out our government say we are a democracy. WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A DEMOCRACY! This is the very core of our problems.
