Waffler is going to hate this one, lol! I gave it 4 stars, cause i don't believe Lincoln actually believed what he said.

"Let the General Government be reduced to foreign concerns only,"- if only. Then the people could go to the different states that they liked the laws of. They could "vote with their feet", in the free market competion of state laws.

Waffler forgets about the 1000's of professional bureaucrats, unelected and hired for life that enforce, write procedures, codes, and in effect decide which laws to enforce and how. What do we do with them?

To comment on Waffler's statement, Oh, I think the people have found out that they can vote themselves money. They are called Democrats.
