People who work for the government are not the enemy.


Many sane people would disagree with that.

Think deeply about this quote:

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
—Thomas Jefferson

So you’re saying that all the people who hold civil service jobs, our military, anyone whose paycheck is signed by the US Treasury might be our enemy? I hardly think that’s what Jeffferson meant.
