There are certain relationships that the GOPe maintains that are simply at odds with those of us on the right who favor a constitutional approach to the federal government. They simply cannot be reconciled. I have noted this for my entire life, and I have noted that the establishment ALWAYS wins. Therefore, I rarely bet against the establishment even though my sympathies lie elsewhere. It just makes sense not to fight the system, especially since the system is rigged in your favor if you happen to have assets and can either weave your way through the legal process or afford lawyers.
How does this apply to daily life? Well, for one example, don't count on the tax code being overhauled anytime soon, it is not going to happen. Learn the ins and outs of the complex system and figure out how to avoid taxes legally. And don't count on the deficit being reduced, assume they will continue to monetize their way out of every mess and invest your own funds accordingly.
Why lament the establishment when you can get rich from it? I'd rather work in a free market system, but since the system is rigged then I'll just have to play by the rules they make up, and live in their loopholes. There will always be loopholes. The law is written by lawyers. The loopholes are put there intentionally to protect their own wealth. It behooves you to learn them rather than to resist them.
Pursuing political reform is a quixotic pursuit. I will continue to do it because I like to think of myself as a patriot. But I am under no delusions that constitutional libertarians will ever win. It would go against a wave that has been consistent and persistent throughout my entire life.
