You have it exactly wrong. Was that intentional?
Government is the employee we hired to manage certain tasks for us, much like someone hires an accountant to manage their finances.
If the accountant steals your money, how is that any different than the government stealing your liberty?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80505256 The HUGE difference in democracy and any other form of government is that with true democracy the government is ruled by the people. True examples of this principal existed among native American Indians and the whites adopted the principal, which was also shared with ancient Greece to a large extent. With Indians the people decided what they would do and then their leaders were tasked with implementing whatever it was. ALL men and women were allowed to participate in the direction they as a people would take, sometimes literally. Not quite right. Democracies are about the majority rules. We don't want that because everyone's rights are dependent on which way the wind is blowing at a certain time. We are told that America is a Republic. It's not. America is a Dictatorship. When our employee in the White House can create an "executive order" that demands that you submit to some "rule" that nobody agreed to, you have a Dictatorship. America is a Dictatorship. Who would you rather decide the future, the few or the many? If it's the few then the same shit will just keep happening, with the working middle class blue and white collar stiff getting assraped. Technically the president cannot enact binding law through EO's. Executive orders are exactly what the name implies, orders to the executive branch of government. The President has TREMENDOUS power in allocating funds, and Trump misused this power to enrich the one per-centers while reaming the rest of us dry. A president COULD instruct the Executive branch to violate the US Constitution, and Trump did this. If a President tried to enact law through executive order, that would be dictatorship. That's one of the huge reasons people voted to get rid of him. Executive Orders and the Decline of Law [ link to www.lewrockwell.com (secure)] "Bipartisan executive orders The president of the United States wields the power to issue an “executive order,” which is an order supposedly based on current law. For example, near the end of his presidency, Bill Clinton issued an executive order greatly reducing the amount of arsenic (which often appears naturally in groundwater in Western communities) that was permitted in a municipal water supply. He said that this order was based on the Clean Water Act and other laws Congress previously had passed. Likewise, upon taking office, George W. Bush issued an executive order changing how the federal government would fund research into embryonic stem cells. Once issued, an executive order has the force of law and can serve as the basis for challenges in court. For example, environmental groups recently took the Bush administration to court, claiming it was not obeying Clinton’s executive orders to close huge portions of national forest lands to loggers, and the courts agreed. Likewise, Congress recently attempted to pass legislation expanding the federal role in embryonic stem cell research in order to counter Bush’s original executive order. As former Clinton aide Paul Begala once remarked, “Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool.”
