But they don't take it far enough.

I got an idea that would save billions in law enforcement. How about firing all the cops and setting up gangster councils so the street criminals can regulate themselves too?

1. Isn't that the idea in the first place?
Government regulation bad. Self regulation good.

2. Actually, what you propose is sorta what they want...
Not gangster patrols, but the 3% can afford private police departments, fire departments. They owuld hire ex-special forces teams. Xe, anybody?

Their America is VERY secure, safe and profitable.
