Yes, unfortunately that is true of almost everything that is wrong with the Government! We can bitch and complain but it does no good - the power of the Federal Government will and does overcome all of our complaints (especially when most of the population needs them to exist).
That alone should be enough to rouse a complaint but alas, it will be too late, such is history. Yes, we are doomed, we just don’t realize it yet.
