Comp, whatcha mean turning the system on it's ear?

The first step is getting a single state assembly to create a major State Obligatory Priviledge for State Citizens. This has to be separate from Federal priviledges which the State regulates.

Once one state does this, the others will follow. Nothing can stop the chain reactions of state governments competing with each other to provide top quality priviledges. I've thought this through. See, if some of the Feds try to take away the States' ability to regulate Federal priviledges (which they shouldn't have in the first place but do anyway) then all the Federal representatives will fight about it.

And even if they do manage to get regulation passed which makes the Federal government the sole regulatory authority over Federal priviledges, they won't win in the long run. The guys we send to Washington will routinely attempt to raise the Price of Federal OPs so that their home states can outcompete them easily. And since both parties within each state are working towards priviledges that beat federal ones, the end result in each state is libertarianesque priviledges which respect economic and personal freedom.

After the States have services, the Federal programs will be shut down for good.
