It takes a statist to claim that there's no fine or jailing, but there is a penalty. What modern penalties are there but fining and jailing? Beating? Public humiliation? Pillory? I think not.
In the United States, the top bracket is 39.6% just on income tax, doesn't include social security, medicare/medicaid, excise taxes, import duties, alcohol and tobacco taxes, etc.. Business taxes also affect individuals indirectly.
A big scandal in the US is federal funding of Planned Parenthood, which performs, promotes, and profits from abortions.
But on public roads you must respect the rules.
Unless you're an illegal alien. In states like California and Massachusetts, drunk drivers are "catch and release" - no license or a forgery, no mechanism to enforce a fine or punishment.
Of the 55 delegates to the convention which wrote the U.S. Constitution, a minority were slaveholders. Alexander Hamilton was born out of wedlock and the race of his parentage cannot be determined with certainty. Not all of them were wealthy.
1770 is not like today. Free libraries were almost unknown; most households had few books other than a Bible. The time and resources to study historical forms of government, their advantages and disadvantages, were available to few and utilized by even fewer. The people most qualified to design a new government were those who did it.
Consider the alternative you apparently favor: that government should be designed by the poor, ignorant, jealous, and unsuccessful.
Such a government, in the unlikely event that its constitution had been ratified, would have been an ignominious failure.
"Legitimate governmental purpose" does not change across a border, does not change with a vote, does not change with the opinions of the populace. It consists of protecting the lives and property of its citizens, no more, no less.
The claim that poor efficiency results from gradual acceleration is based on assumptions violated in the real world. High torque and high RPM conditions cause nonlinear losses that worsen economy: torque converter slip, windage losses in the intake and exhaust systems, and richening of the fuel/air mixture to get maximum power.
Strength is generally taken to mean tensile strength, the force/area in tension required to rupture a material, or required to permanently deform it. Stiffness is the ratio strain/stress, usually quantified as Young's modulus. Neither is the same as toughness, nor as hardness
Debates can weed out people who can't respond quickly with at least a semblance of intelligence. (Biden in 2012 is an exception.) Your suggestion would lead to teams of writers assembling platforms.
A President is more effective if he can speak effectively, and a debate is one place to showcase effective speaking.
Any President can accomplish a great deal as constipator-in-chief. Unless both houses of Congress can consistently override his vetoes, nothing passes without his approval.
All Presidents get a great deal of publicity and the (often undeserved) respect that many people assign to any holder of the office.
The objection is not the loss of wealth, but the loss of a family farm. BRK shares are fungible, an ancestral farm is not.
There are also issues of fair valuation. Many states have favorable tax rates for farms, and other factors that make the assessed value higher than the market value. The inheritors are unlikely to get a good price when they sell. Some areas have laws that forbid or penalize subdividing farm plots; the inheritors will not be able to sell off part of the farm to retain the rest.
I'm not arguing that maintaining small family farms is a good thing, I think it's foolish. But sales of family farms forced by the owner's death can be hard on the heirs.
Jeb is being increasingly rejected. He is uninspiring, supports Common Core and the alien invasion, is a Bush, and is correctly regarded as part of the Republican Establishment. There's little chance of him reaching the general election.
About half of the Republican candidates are better for the country than JEB.
You have failed in your understanding of "far right." The Republicans who want Mexican labor are big government, "Progressive", crony "capitalists." The far right wants border control, limited or no immigration, and free market technology.

You are laboring under the false assumption that a census has to be performed by mailing out forms for people to fill out.
Taxes are only voluntary if the government has no mechanism to force people to pay. To claim otherwise is dishonest.

Liberty is close in meaning to freedom, and both involve an absence of restrictions. Rights are a different concept dealing with what is proper.
So he selected half his cabinet to have intelligence below the median?

Make gasoline $7.50/gal through taxation and the primary result will be increased corruption among government officials who siphon off the money.

Economically, the group most hurt by immigration is the blacks. Rationally, they should be supporting Trump.

Hillary Clinton is nasty and massively corrupt. She has no standards and will not consistently stand up for anything.

Espaliered blueberry plants. I think you're on to something.

There's no reason to build each prototype from scratch. The difficult part is going to be software, which requires no mechanical changes at all.
Nice straw man.
Unfree markets are corrupt by definition, requiring payoffs to establish any business.
Located near Sodom?
LEO - what does Low Earth Orbiter have to do with this?
You obviously haven't bothered to read about Obama's history.
