    good

    maybe you loons will learn to depend on yourselves and quit suckling off the government teat.

    today they tax you, tomorrow they tell you you need to be shackled, the day after they will tell you you need to die to save the planet. Meanwhile, they themselves live, live free, and prosper. Thus, government is inherently EVIL and masochistic.

    What little good they do is offset by massive institutionalized corruption that in the end squeezes all goodness out of the society.
