This is an interesting read and a plausible way to get back to how our founder's wanted the government to function...... It appears that our supposed leaders have bastardized our government's scope and purpose!!!!! SO HOW DO WE GET BACK ON TRACK??????
You said:
what type of government did our founding fathers set up and how was it supposed to work?
ChatGPT said:
The Founding Fathers of the United States established a constitutional republic with a federal system of government. It was designed to balance power, protect individual rights, and prevent tyranny—whether by a monarch, a majority, or a small elite. Here’s a breakdown of the system they created and how it was supposed to work:
1. Constitutional Republic
Definition: A form of government in which officials are chosen by the people and must govern according to a written constitution that limits the powers of government and protects individual rights.
The U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1788, is the supreme law of the land. It outlines the structure of government and guarantees certain rights to citizens (later expanded with the Bill of Rights in 1791).
2. Federalism
Definition: A system that divides power between a central (national) government and state governments.
Certain powers (like printing money or declaring war) belong to the federal government.
Other powers (like education and local law enforcement) are reserved to the states.
Some powers are shared (e.g., taxation).
3. Separation of Powers
The national government is divided into three branches to avoid concentration of power:
Legislative Branch (Congress)
Makes laws
Bicameral system:
House of Representatives: based on population.
Senate: two senators per state, regardless of size.
Intended to be the most directly representative of the people (especially the House).
Executive Branch (President)
Enforces laws
Elected by the Electoral College, not directly by the people.
Commander-in-chief of the military, negotiates treaties, appoints officials (with Senate approval).
Judicial Branch (Supreme Court and other federal courts)
Interprets laws
Determines if laws or executive actions are constitutional.
Judges have life tenure to protect them from political pressure.
4. Checks and Balances
Each branch has powers that can check the others, maintaining a balance:
Congress can impeach the president or judges.
The president can veto legislation.
The courts can strike down laws or executive actions.
5. Republicanism
Citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf, rather than direct democracy.
Intended to protect against mob rule while still honoring the will of the people.
6. Protection of Individual Rights
The Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments) ensures freedoms like speech, religion, due process, and protection from government overreach.
Later amendments expanded these rights (e.g., abolishing slavery, guaranteeing women’s suffrage).
Founders' Intentions
The Founders feared tyranny from:
A centralized monarchy (like Britain’s King George III),
A faction or mob dominating unchecked,
Or even from government itself if not limited.
They intended a system where:
Government power is limited and accountable,
Citizens have sovereignty through elections,
Minority rights are protected,
And laws, not individuals, rule the land.
If you'd like, I can show how this structure compares to modern U.S. government practice—or explore how different founders (like Madison, Jefferson, or Hamilton) had slightly different visions for how it should work.

Here’s a clear comparison between how the Founding Fathers designed the U.S. government versus how it often functions today—highlighting key intentions and how things have evolved or diverged over time:
⚖️ 1. Separation of Powers & Checks and Balances
| Founders' Design | Modern Reality |
|---|---|
| Three branches (legislative, executive, judicial) would check each other’s power to prevent tyranny. | Checks still exist, but partisan gridlock or cooperation can undermine true balance (e.g., Congress rarely checks presidents from its own party). |
| Congress was intended to be the most powerful branch, especially the House as closest to the people. | The executive branch has grown in power, especially through executive orders, military actions without formal declarations of war, and federal agencies. |
🏛️ 2. Federalism (Division of State and National Powers)
| Founders' Design | Modern Reality |
|---|---|
| Clear division of power: states would handle local matters; the federal government would handle national ones. | Federal power has expanded dramatically (via the Commerce Clause, Supreme Court decisions, federal funding with strings attached). States still have power, but often must comply with federal standards. |
| States were called "laboratories of democracy" to try different solutions. | Still true in some areas (e.g., marijuana laws, education policy), but uniformity is often pushed at the federal level. |
🗳️ 3. Representation and Democracy
| Founders' Design | Modern Reality |
|---|---|
| Republic, not a direct democracy—citizens elect representatives to make informed decisions. | Still true, but constant media and polling pressures lead many politicians to act based on popularity or party loyalty, not deliberation. |
| Electoral College to choose president, not by direct vote. Intended as a filter against demagoguery. | Electoral College remains, but it’s controversial—presidents can win without a popular vote majority (e.g., 2000, 2016). Critics argue it undermines democratic legitimacy. |
| Senators originally appointed by state legislatures to represent state interests. | Now directly elected (17th Amendment, 1913), which made the Senate more democratic—but also less focused on state governments’ needs. |
🧾 4. Role of Political Parties
| Founders' Design | Modern Reality |
|---|---|
| Founders (especially Washington) warned against political factions (parties), fearing they would divide the country. | Strong two-party system dominates. Partisan loyalty often outweighs policy debate or compromise, and elections focus more on party power than national unity. |
| Intended politics to be issue- and principle-based, not tribal. | Increasing partisan polarization affects everything from judicial appointments to basic legislation. |
🏛️ 5. Judicial Branch
| Founders' Design | Modern Reality |
|---|---|
| Designed to be independent and impartial, interpreting the Constitution free from politics. | Judges are still independent by structure (life tenure), but nominations and confirmations have become highly political, especially at the Supreme Court level. |
| Courts were to be interpreters, not makers, of law. | The Supreme Court often plays a decisive role in national policy (e.g., abortion, healthcare, civil rights), which makes it a political battleground. |
📜 6. Individual Rights
| Founders' Design | Modern Reality |
|---|---|
| Bill of Rights protects free speech, religion, due process, etc. | Still foundational, but modern issues (technology, surveillance, gun rights, social media, etc.) create new tensions over interpretation. |
| Rights were mainly protected from government intrusion. | Today, debates extend to private platforms, corporations, and how to balance safety with freedom. |
🧠 Summary: How It’s Evolved
| Area | Still Matches Founders’ Intent | Has Drifted |
|---|---|---|
| Separation of Powers | ✓ Partially | ✓ Executive power expanded |
| Federalism | ✓ Some state power | ✓ Stronger federal government |
| Representation | ✓ Republic maintained | ✓ Electoral College & Senate reform altered dynamics |
| Individual Rights | ✓ Core rights protected | ✓ New challenges (e.g., digital privacy) |
| Political Culture | ✗ Deeply partisan | ✗ Far from original warnings about factionalism |
ONCE AGAIN..... HOW DO WE TURN THIS SHIP AROUND AND GET BACK ON TRACK?????
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO GET BACK ON TRACK — Key Focus Areas
1. 🗳️ Revive Civic Education and Participation
The Problem: Most citizens don’t know how government works—or that they have real power.
The Solution:
Educate ourselves and others about the Constitution, checks and balances, federalism, etc.
Engage locally: School boards, city councils, and state legislatures are where change begins.
Support nonpartisan civics programs in schools and communities.
Cultivate civil dialogue: respectful disagreement, not tribal warfare.
“A well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people.” —James Madison
2. ⚖️ Restore Balance Between the Branches
The Problem: Congress has surrendered power to the President and bureaucracy.
The Solution:
Pressure elected officials to reclaim Congressional authority (especially over war powers and spending).
Support candidates (regardless of party) who believe in restoring balance, not expanding executive control.
End abuse of emergency powers and executive orders as legislative shortcuts.
3. 🏛️ Reinforce Federalism
The Problem: States have become dependent on federal funds and direction.
The Solution:
Elect state leaders who stand up for state sovereignty, not just follow federal mandates.
Encourage innovation at the state level (education, healthcare, criminal justice).
Re-examine federal overreach (e.g. regulatory agencies creating de facto laws).
4. 🔍 Rein in the Bureaucratic State
The Problem: Unelected agencies wield enormous power with little accountability.
The Solution:
Support regulatory reform—Congress must reclaim its lawmaking role.
Demand transparency and accountability from federal agencies.
Enforce the nondelegation doctrine (the idea that Congress can’t hand off its power indefinitely).
5. 🧑⚖️ Depoliticize the Courts
The Problem: Judges are seen as political actors rather than neutral interpreters of law.
The Solution:
Appoint and support constitutional originalists who respect the limits of judicial power.
Oppose court-packing or judicial activism from either side.
Encourage reforms like term limits or age caps, if necessary, to ensure fresh perspectives without politicizing the bench.
6. 🔄 Fix the Electoral and Party System
The Problem: Two-party control and gerrymandering stifle new voices and local representation.
The Solution:
Push for reforms like ranked-choice voting, open primaries, or independent redistricting commissions.
Encourage third-party or independent candidates to inject new ideas.
Demand campaign finance transparency—follow the money, reduce undue influence.
7. 🤝 Revive Civic Virtue and National Unity
The Problem: Polarization and cynicism are eroding the social fabric.
The Solution:
Promote service over slogans: local volunteerism, military, Peace Corps, faith-based action.
Rebuild trust by engaging with people who disagree—neighbors, not enemies.
Refocus patriotism on principles, not partisanship.
🧭 Founders' Advice for Today
“A republic, if you can keep it.” —Benjamin Franklin
“The people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government.” —James Madison
“The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.” —Thomas Jefferson
✅ Actionable First Steps
Read the Constitution and the Federalist Papers (esp. Nos. 10, 51, 78).
Attend local government meetings—city council, school board, state legislature.
Educate others—start a discussion group or civic class.
Vote in primaries, not just general elections.
Support reform-minded candidates, regardless of party.
If you want, I can help you: (I stopped here)
Draft a community action plan
Create civic education materials
Identify reform proposals that are gaining traction

neo-liberals are ideological and emotional in their approach, rather than being realistic and assessing forces and recognizing that making the perfect the enemy of the good or trying to have everything that they want all at once is going to be counterproductive.
Up to this point, Israel has received a great deal of U.S. aid; it’s going to continue to receive a great deal more. If the antiwar position or the non-interventionist position is we can’t do anything until we cut Israel loose and remove any kind of support from Israel, then we basically have a politically impossible position, because the amount of support the American people have for Israel as a whole is much greater than the amount of support the American people have for our joining Israel’s air force in bombing Iran or certainly having American boots go on the ground to undertake regime change and an occupation of Iran. And do you think Americans are less supportive of Israel in the midst of a war than they were of Ukraine?
The U.S. has not yet directly intervened in an offensive capacity against Iran. But Trump seems on the verge of doing so. As such, Trump has gotten a lot of pushback for letting a major Mideast war begin on his watch. Some even accuse him of betraying the America 1st movement and joining forces to fight a war on Israel’s behalf. Some say Israel’s attack on Iran is all Trump’s fault, that this attack could not possibly have happened without Trump giving his assent to it, and therefore, this war is our war. As I stated above, those people ideologically want to have their predictions fulfilled. That’s taking on a nightmare scenario, and it’s actually abandoning the responsibility we have to look at each step of this situation. America has a choice every step of the way and can back down or choose not to be involved at any point.
The basic fact of the Israel–Iran war is that Israel is much stronger than its opponent. And that the U.S. is already deeply involved in the conflict. Israel is attacking Iran using U.S.-supplied munitions. America repositioned forces in the region to thwart Iran’s retaliatory strikes. Without our significant and ongoing military support, Israel wouldn't be in a position to win this war. Does that mean that we should get more involved because the war is made possible by what we’ve already done? Does it mean that we should not make efforts at staying out, and calling at least for peace? Should we abandon all hope of having an end to the war, of calling for an end to the war, of staying out of adding more force to it because of what we’ve already done?
No! Non-interventionists should fight the battles they can win, and be skeptical of despairing over battles that frankly have already been lost.
There’s already a big push to get Trump to bomb Fordow nuclear enrichment facility, because Israel is unable to take them out, meaning it needs our bunker busters and B-2 bombers. And there’s the risk that U.S. forces and assets will be targeted or maybe incidentally hit by Iranian strikes, which would likely trigger our escalated involvement. And there's also the simple matter that Israel is a small country, and if ballistic missiles are raining down on it, we might want to enter the war directly to prevent Israel from resorting to nuclear weapons.
But history shows how very, very wrong predictions have been, even by the experts.There were an awful lot of neo-liberals who said, after Trump assassinated Iranian military officer qasem soleimani that this was going to lead basically to World War III, that this was going to lead to all sorts of unrest in the Middle East, that Iran was going to retaliate against us—none of which actually happened, or at least, not to the degree that it had been predicted. And even before that, neo-libs were saying the same thing about moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in Israel and in terms of threat inflation. Those outlooks were based on emotional, ideological preferences.
The war itself is sort of verifying the logic of both of the belligerents. There are ballistic missiles coming from Iran, and blowing up apartment buildings throughout Israel. And the Israelis are saying if one of those ballistic missiles had a nuclear warhead, we would be screwed. Israel is such a small country and a compact country that, even if it has a 2nd strike capability the amount of damage that Israel as a compact country could receive from a handful of Iranian nuclear weapons in the event of an apocalyptic showdown greatly exceeds the amount of damage that Israeli 2nd-strike capabilities could conceivably inflict on a vastly larger Iranian land mass with a population of 85 million. So, all those calculations make the Israelis very, very keen to defang an Iran, who daily does all it can to annihilate Israel, and to remove any possibility of an Iranian nuclear program. As for the Iranians, it's absolutely clear that Iran wants to have a nuclear weapon. That's a realist outlook that says both of these belligerents are going to keep at it because they both have rational grounds for what they’re doing. Obviously, the amount of pain that they’re both inflicting on one another is also a calculation that has to be factored in.
And there’s also the question of the danger for both of these states that something is going to change with respect to outside powers. The Iranians are certainly worried that America will get in. As for the Israelis, the reason they are free to have a war with Iran is because they're not in grave danger of having a war with their Arab neighbors. But that could change if the Arabs become more sympathetic to Iran and less sympathetic to Israel, that would open the possibility for Israel of facing a multi-front war, which would be an extremely dangerous position for them.
So, that actually gives both Iran and Israel an incentive, both in terms of the pain they’re experiencing right now from the mutual blows and also from the possibility that the international situation is going to change, to start talking to one another and to try to resolve this very difficult logical problem. It’s not as if they both want to continue this tit-for-tat indefinitely, or that they can do so.

What a US Strike on Iran's Fordow Enrichment Facility Would Mean for Tehran's Nuclear Program
The cloward–piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists richard cloward and frances fox piven. The strategy aims to utilize militant so-called anti-poverty groups to facilitate a political crisis by overloading the welfare system via an increase in welfare claims, forcing the creation of a system of guaranteed minimum income and redistributing income through the federal government. cloward and piven were 2 neo-liberal Columbia professors who outlined their plan to turn America into Cuba or the Soviet Union. They published their manifesto in the leftist publication, The Nation, in 1966. Note the words “militant,” “crisis,” and “overloading.”

The Irony and Absurdity of ‘Stolen Land’ Virtue Signaling - The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator | USA News and Politics
In the 1960's President Lyndon B. Johnson was fighting 2 very expensive wars simultaneously; the war in Vietnam and The War on Poverty also known as the great society.
Needing money for that, LBJ merged the Social Security Trust Fund with the unified budget process. In plain English, democrat lbLBJ stripped out all the considerable cash in the Social Security Trust Fund and replaced it with government IOUs (bonds, as we know them). That system exists to this day. In algore’s words, he robbed the lock-box!
So, LBJ lost the war in Vietnam, the War on Poverty and the huge cache of cash in the Social Security Trust Fund. And what was the result of that leadership by our Democrat President and his Party? The breakup of the family, a dramatic increase in crime, a "poverty caste" and, Social Security "running out of money."
So, in 1984, high income families started paying income taxes on 50% of their Social Security income. In 1994 that was increased to 85%, subject to taxation at the taxpayer’s usual federal income tax rate. And once adding the disabled to Social Security made a lot of sense, and sensibility. Then the politicians and bureaucrats, as they always do to increase their power, broadening benefits. Things went from "unable to work" to "unable to work at the last job you held." In other words, an injured police officer could get benefits for life, even if he was perfectly capable of doing a desk job. Many very capable people have since gone from work to benefits.
Elon Musk and his Dept of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have targeted Social Security files for auditing, to let the country know if there is, or isn't, any fraud or waste. The left-wing/democrats, lying--AGAIN (and again, and again, and again...etc)--say Musk/Trump want to take stop Social Security, have gone to their left-wing judges to shut down that effort. Apparently they support and want more fraud and waste. That’s where it currently stands.
So why everyone wouldn’t support DOGE’s efforts? If there are improprieties, we need to know about them and immediately take corrective action. If there are no improprieties, better yet. Just tell us! We can all celebrate together. Indeed, clean Social Security files can serve as an oasis of unity in our very divided nation.
But preliminary reviews of Social Security files have raised a few questions. There are literally millions of "accounts" with beneficiaries over the age of 100; an impossibility. Of course, that, in and of itself, is not proof of fraud. It does however hint of carelessness, ineptness and incompleteness. Again, apparently what neo-liberals/democrats support and want more of.
America is entitled to a "clean" audit, with equally clean audit results! The Social Security administration is entitled to state-of-the-art computer systems. File storage needs to be electronic, not in mountain caves --- literally. Will obstructionist left-wing/democrat judiciary prevail much longer? Shouldn't our country,with Lincoln's government "by the people, of the people and for the people" get its deserved transparency?
Hands on Social Security!

Once again a great activist has turned into a writer. Colleen Britton works tirelessly to support, organize and promote activism in Sacramento and Northern California. She understands the need for immediate action.
“They boast about protecting minorities, yet democrats fail to protect families and religious minorities. They continually look the other way and ignore anti-Semitic rhetoric and violent behavior calling it protected speech. Their “mostly peaceful demonstrations” almost always end in chaos, lawlessness and violence against law enforcement.
Democrats identify as the party of science. “Trust the science” they say yet they deny basic biology 101. Choosing a pronoun is not changing your sex. They refuse to objectively examine any conflicting research in multiple scientific areas including biology, medicine, climate, and more. That’s not science. It’s ideology.”
The first step in being an effective activist is to be informed about the issues. This article goes to the heart of the Democrat Party problems: HYPOCRISY AND HATE.
The Right Stuff: It is time for an intervention
Colleen Britton, Daily Republic, 6/15/25 https://www.dailyrepublic.com/opinion/the-right-stuff-it-is-time-for-an-intervention/article_aee64ee8-0eb3-47d0-90dc-3cc043c1c827.html
Like rats bailing off a sinking ship, democrats are quickly distancing themselves from the failures of the Democratic Party and the past administration.
Last week, Karine Jean-Pierre, Biden’s White House press secretary, said she’s no longer a Democrat. This is rich coming from the very spokesperson of the president only months after leaving office.
What’s happening? Democratic voters find themselves disoriented, disheartened, disillusioned and suffering from dysphoria: a profound state of unease or dissatisfaction.
I believe it’s called cognitive dissonance: a state of mental discomfort experienced when a person’s beliefs, attitudes or values are inconsistent with their actions or new information.
That new information includes reality, truth and facts that democrats find hard to reconcile. What are some of their beliefs, attitudes, and values? How are they inconsistent with reality, truth, facts and their past actions?
On several major issues such as open borders, deporting undocumented criminals, supporting law enforcement, and others, democrats find their position outnumbered by a vast majority of Americans by ratios as high as 80 /20.
Democratic leaders claim to be the party of the working class yet they continue to promote policies and pass legislation that raises the cost of living including the cost for energy, gas, food, housing, taxes, and more. They focus on generating more revenue for the state and more state control over every aspect of our lives.
They pride themselves on their support for women yet time and again they fail to protect both women and girls. Several bills during this legislative session would have kept males out of women’s facilities and sports. All of these bills were soundly defeated by democrats in committee leaving women and girls vulnerable.
Democrats espouse a belief in free speech yet they silence or shout down any ideas that contradict their own ideological narrative. They refuse to allow conservatives to speak on college campuses – places which should foster the free exchange of ideas. They silence conservatives on air when they present any idea which conflicts with their narrative.
Democratic leaders claim to be the champion of democracy yet we see them thwart the democratic process time and time again. They try to manipulate elections by eliminating certain candidates’ names from ballots. They misuse the justice system by waging law-fare against opponents. Within the California legislature they refuse to allow many Republican sponsored bills to even come up for discussion in committees – let alone a vote. Excluding alternative ideas from discussion is hardly democratic.
They see themselves as creating unity yet their policies like Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and Critical Race Theory, foster discontent, animosity, and division among individuals, groups in the workplace, communities, and across the country. Democrat leaders want to pigeonhole Americans into small demographic groups which they believe they can control.
They boast about protecting minorities, yet democrats fail to protect families and religious minorities. They continually look the other way and ignore anti-Semitic rhetoric and violent behavior calling it protected speech. Their “mostly peaceful demonstrations” almost always end in chaos, lawlessness and violence against law enforcement.
Democrats identify as the party of science. “Trust the science” they say yet they deny basic biology 101. Choosing a pronoun is not changing your sex. They refuse to objectively examine any conflicting research in multiple scientific areas including biology, medicine, climate, and more. That’s not science. It’s ideology.
They purport to be truth sayers, yet we see them caught in lie after lie – denial after denial. It’s no wonder Democratic voters are in the doldrums. It’s time for some soul searching, self examination, a “look in the mirror.” Ask, “What do I stand for?”
When questioned by democratic friends, offer a helping hand, point them in a direction where they can seek and find truth for themselves. Then welcome them into the real world where everything is questioned and open for discussion
It’s time for an intervention. Resolve the dissonance.

I may piss a few of you off by posting this. We can handle it one of two ways: discuss it like adults or you can unfriend me. Your choice. You have your opinion and I have mine. Before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I add that my ancestors came here from other countries, as did most everyone else's ancestors, and they learned the language and worked and never once did I hear any of them trash America. They became citizens, were proud to be one and some served in the military! I am nice to everyone and I have no problem with anyone coming here and making a good life for themselves and their family, BUT if you are coming here and expect us to become what you just came from, then that’s not happening! Return and work on your country and make it better where you can be proud to live in it.
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of AMERICA, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
“IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT.”
Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language.
Most Americans believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.
If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our "culture." We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.
But once you are done complaining and whining about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great AMERICAN freedom,
"THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".
If you aren't happy here, then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country that accepted you.
NOTE:
IF we circulate this among ourselves, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths.
If you agree, please SEND THIS ON and as for those who disagree, move to a country that suits you and live there. "
THANK YOU! 
Copy and Paste if you want...I can't be the only American that feels this way...
Is this coming here if the Democrats win future elections?
The South Australian Legislative Council recently passed the Planning, Development and Infrastructure (Use of Vacant Land) Amendment Bill 2022.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA NEWS
Introduced by the South Australian Greens and "not opposed" by the Labor government "in principle", this Bill seeks to allow the government to take control of privately owned land it deems to be “primarily vacant” and “not being sufficiently used or developed” without paying compensation provided “reasonable steps” have been taken to negotiate with the owner.
The Bill contains no guidance in relation to what constitutes underdeveloped land, nor does it specify how long a landowner has before the government may intervene, yet it provides sweeping powers to seize control of land for loosely defined “public purposes,” including temporary housing.
Worse still, the Bill explicitly exempts the government from paying rent or compensation to landowners.
This socialistic, Big Government approach is typical of Labor and the Greens, and South Australians who are concerned about the future of property rights in this state ought to keep a close eye on how this Bill’s debate in the House of Assembly plays out.
Far from solving the housing crisis, the Bill would have a chilling effect on private investment and development. As the Urban Development Institute of Australia rightly put it, this is “an assault on South Australian property rights.”

Meanwhile, Labor and the Greens continue to support record-high migration levels, which are placing unprecedented pressure on housing supply.
Rather than address this imbalance with sensible reform, their answer is more government control. It’s strange how problems that the government creates need to be solved with more governmental power.
I will continue to stand up for Australians who believe in the right to own and use their land free from state coercion.
Thank you, as always, for your support.
Yours sincerely,
Alex Antic
