When Steve Bannon said their goal was to dismantle the administrative state, he meant it. Basically these people do not want the government to exist in any way to help people. They want unfettered capitalism, not democracy, to be the basic governing principle of America.

Laws can only be passed by Congress. That’s democratic.

Its a little shocking to see you fighting for *less* Democracy, less personal agency and a greater dependence on Big Government. Capitalism has nothing to do with any of it.

Government over reach is a big problem. Nobody elected the bureaucrats imposing these policies.

The only way to save democracy is to have unelected bureaucrats legislate policy. Insisting elected legislatures legislate policy is highly undemocratic.

The bureaucracy is like a garden of weeds that cuts out the sunlight. It helps no one and wastes money.

Pro Tip: Dismantling the bureaucracy is not a bad thing. “Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.” - Thomas Paine

Government: “We help people” People: “How?” Government: “We take money from you and give it to them.” People: “Who is ‘them’ ?” Government: “Other countries, corporations, politicians, people who didn’t earn it.” People: “Do I get a say in who gets it?” Government: “No.”
