Government is simply organized crime unless restrained within narrow well-defined boundaries.
The Union government has devolved into a gigantic “legal” version of organized crime. Our tax dollars...at gun point if necessary...is the skim. This is further siphoned off to pay it’s street soldiers, backup admin paper pushers, politicians, and connected gonefs. Whatever is left over goes to various idiotic programs. I don’t think this is what the Founders intended.
