It's mine and you can't have it.

Unless of course you ask nicely and I agree to let you have it. We are an ownership society after all.
If someone were to boldly demand a right to steal from you face to face, tempers would likely flair. Why then do we allow ourselves to think it any different when the two wolves at the ballot box vote to have sheep for dinner?
So far as I can see, the main difference is that it’s difficult to know who to confront when you are a victim of theft via the voting booth. Government has a habit of nurturing anonymous five finger discounts by turbo charging mans ability to steal without consequence.
Sort of makes Government the perfect parasite, except for one thing. The host in this case has a longer memory than most and has now begun to understand his or her place in the order of things.
