He’s supposed to serve even the “useless people” - the ones with chicken coops in their back yards- and not just those who provide the state with revenue by their activities.

Guy seems to have forgotten that government is supposed to serve the people, not the other way around. The purpose of government is not to consume revenue- though all governments quickly forget they are servants of the people and try to become the reason for their own existence, serving themselves only. This is why politicians need to be reminded from time to time of their true status.

The USA is unique in the world in our view that government power is delegated from the people.

Every other country in the world has its people conditioned to believe in the divine right of government to rule their lives from cradle to the grave.

The sad fact of too many Romanians is that they miss the comfort of having someone else make all of their important decisions for them and if Ceaucescu were to rise from the dead they’d happily bare their throats to let the communist vampire suck them dry.

See, some people were born to be slaves.
