Chicago JohnMaybe I can help out here by clearing up what I mean. When the public defines how I spend my money on other people (though taxes) they are dictating my behaviour
An economic system and a political system are entertwined in a system where it's possible for people to make their own paycheck.
I'm not entirely sure about your full meaning here. Do think the public has any kind of right to 'dictate' your behavior? Under no cirumstances? Under any circumstances? If so, what are they.
Regards,
John
