There’s a more effective way of voting. One where you personally have it within your power to make change.
Which better serves your well being: voting in the ballot box where you’re one of millions? Or “foot-voting,” where you can move across state lines? Professor Randy Barnett of Georgetown University} explains why governments are more constrained by foot-voting than the polls.

Exactly why my kids were born in TX, exactly why my great-grandparents were born in KY, exactly why their great-grandparents were born in the MD and NC instead of Europe. This is also why people on welfare don't move. It's almost impossible to move to another state, sometimes even to another city, and stay on welfare. Also why people retire in low tax states. Also why companies move to states with lower regulatory costs. It's why liberal run cities are losing tax payers to conservative areas. It's why you don't want your law makers 1000s of miles away deciding what happens locally.

It is the onus of the aggressor to leave.

The farmers can't move and the politicians know that.

First understand that everyone of us should, instead of voting (and by this legitimizing this broken system), we should be thinking about ways our communities could interact with this world without use of system's rules (without money, without paying taxes, producing energy/food/houses by ourselves etc. -- nowadays, with modern technologies, we humans don't need governments to organize intelligently and ethically our communities).

That's it, otherwise, change through political system/voting will be so tremendously more slower, than if thousands, millions of us began to looking for and implementing ways to make our communities self sustained.

Vote with your feet absolutely just do not move where the locust (Blue state origin Democrat voters) are moving to.

[ramonbs]

I disagree. It's better to participate in politics. Because if you don't get into the game, other people will do and you have to move over and over again.
