Since when did the will of the people (that little thing called voting) become "mob rule"?
And yes, it is the goverments job to carry out the laws and such voted on by the people. Where is it you can find that states it is not?

Yes you are. In America nothing is expected of anyone. You have a choice in whatever you do. If you choose not to work, you don't pay taxes. You have that choice. Good luck living, if you choose that path.

What is so hard to understand about this? When you pay taxes, that money is not longer yours; it was never "the peoples". I don't know what fantasy world you are living in. Again, US Military members perform a service for the United States Government and are compensated. The average US Citizen performs no service.

What part of "we the people" and " promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity" seem to confuse you?
