What you don't realize is that you rely on your government just as much as we do on ours. If it fails, it can't protect your property rights anymore and your net worth is just a theoretical number.

A developed country's government failing to the point that it can no longer guarantee property rights is pretty unusual.

Running out of money to pay pensions is much more common, and it seems somewhat likely given the way demographics are headed.

A bunch of angry people storming the seat of the legislative branch sounds pretty unusual for a developed country as well.

It's incredible to the lengths Americans go when their system is challenged.
