Every democratic system involving money works if there are assets, take a look at your country for what happens when there's no money.

Maybe, but a "socialist" country like mine sure does a lot better than your country.

America was doing fine for a long time, and I assure you that when we get out of this we will be doing fine again.

Your state needs to make more money than it spends, to pay off some of your debt... Your country needs more taxes, otherwise your debt will continue to increase.
With your low taxes and a balanced budget ammendment, your country would be pretty weak.
