@Thomas_Jef3 the people should control themselves

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@Thomas_Jef3 is a good thing

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@Thomas_Jef3 freedom to do and act

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@Thomas_Jef3 If the Declaration of Independence gives power to the people so they can control their own lives

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@tHobbesHobbies God never made that decision and never told anyone they had the right to interfere with other creations of his.

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@johnlockeddown big governments and overreaching governments always collapse

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@johnlockeddown agreed, if a country is to succeed then its inhabitants must decide what is best both politically and especially financially

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@tHobbesHobbies just because a man has a false title, does not mean they will automatically do good.

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@tHobbesHobbies I'm not sold on the right to rule, but it is undoubtable that kings can be a negative influence in their country and land.

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@THUGgovofVA funny you should say that, by benefiting oneself, they in turn benefit those around them. It is a chain reaction of awesomeness

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@tHobbesHobbies the divine right is determined by man, no one knows the true will of God other than what the bible tells us.

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@tHobbesHobbies we as country could also fall with the king too.

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@tHobbesHobbies one man can be wrong,who declares them to have this divine right? Monarchs have been responsible for the downfal ofcountries

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@THUGgovofVA @johnlockeddown overreaching monarchs are a big reason for financial instability.

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@_t_paine @THUGgovofVA @johnlockeddown I'm not quite sold on every revolution but as long as I can have control over my private interactions

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@THUGgovofVA the people deserve a say!

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@THUGgovofVA yes, but with freedom and liberty comes prosperity :)

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@THUGgovofVA absolutely right! Someone understands!

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@tHobbesHobbies also, free trade implies that we can control our own purchases and business endeavors. It has very little to do with taxing.

[Adam Smith @AdamSmithWH4]

@tHobbesHobbies raising an army and nullifying rights are two different things, I want rights that secure my freedom and economic situation.
