My observation is that local goverment is not any more responsive to the will of the people than national government. Look at the excesses perpetuated by 'neighborhood covenants', for example. As far as abortion is concerned, I see us as very far apart. I would extend the rights of a person only to those classically defined as people - those born alive. As for taxes, I believe those who have received the most benefits from a society owe the most back to that society. I have done military service, and I have seen some unprincipled military people willing to sacrifice the lives of others, even those in their own units, for the benefit of their own careers. Let it be noted that such people are by no means limited to the military. No profession has a lock on virtue.
