All the people I know wanna be left alone
Some people! I don’t know?
They won’t leave you alone
You gotta be just - be just like them

Biggest gang I know they call the government
Gang is a weapon
That you trade your mind in for
You gotta be just - be just like them

The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
The gang
And the government
No different
That makes me 1%
That makes me 1%

I’ve said something similar in the past. The mafia saw what the Clintons got away with and wept.

Totally agree, Rep. Massie, with broken heart. DC is not USA’s anymore.

At least the Mafia wanted people to keep their businesses open and thrive.

No other organization in the world, not even the Mafia, can kill you and get away with it without repercussions. Ask Randy Weaver’s wife.

The mafia also paid better odds on their numbers games than the state run lotteries do.

Mr. Washington still expressed it best -
“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence,—it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”

The Mafia know they are illegal and don't want to be seen.
The gov't has no such restrictions.

Joseph Goebbels is spinning on a rotisserie-in-hell, in total awe of the lies, crimes and crazy stuff the Leftist-Commie-socialist-Anarchist-Democrats get away with today.

The Feral government is the largest criminal organization in this country. They will kill or otherwise destroy you without hesitation or remorse for any reason at all, or no reason at all, as suits it’s whim.

Government bureaucrats have the power to make your life hell just by mistake. Something gets stuck sideways in their brain and the gears keep grinding and grinding until you are mush or you manage to find a bulldog advocate to take your side and make them stop.

They never seem to consider that they might have made an error or their coworkers could have been mistaken. Nope. They are always right. And even the most harmless of government agencies can make your life miserable.

And when you throw corruption and actual malice into the mix you have a force that the unconnected are powerless against.

The Mafia also punished and held its own accountable which is something that our government refuses to do.

Nothing is going to change until we decide not to put up with it anymore. But I just don’t sense there’s the will to do it. Americans living comfortable lives are just not inclined to inconvenience themselves. I saw this in the Tea Party; it was hard to get “the sunshine patriots” off the couch for even an afternoon to attend rallies.

David Schippers said pretty much the same thing.
