You're exactly right. To kill Leviathan, he must be suffocated.

Tax reform now!

Makes me think of Thomas Hobbes, commenting on life without an absolute dictator. Liberals must love Hobbes.

In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain, and consequently, not culture of the earth, no navigation, nor the use of commodities that may be imported by sea, no commodious building, no instruments of moving and removing such things as require much force, no knowledge of the face of the earth, no account of time, no arts, no letters, no society, and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death, and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
