There really is something called the "social compact." It is expressed brilliantly in our Declaration of Independence. When government no longer is able or willing to perform the function for which the fruit of peoples' hard work is extorted in outrageous taxes, the compact is fractured. This goes back before our Declaration to Magna Carta. The time is now to refuse to support - or bear loyalty - to any government unit that is not doing its job. And this includes the current maladministration of JR Biden, which has subverted our immigration and civil rights laws.

Bruce Miller: I have trouble with the term "Social Compact". People use that word "social" too much. It leads to socialism, then communism, and the end of property rights and individual rights.

I never signed a contract with the State. The State is made up of lying, murdering, thieves.

Good point! Magna Carta was the result of King John messing things up so completely that even the nobles were fed up.
