“Atlas Shrugged” where Dr. Ferris explains: “Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed? ...We want them broken... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt.”

“The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.”.........

If that be the case, why then does our gubmint not crack down on the thousands of gubmint employees (real criminals) who have NOT and continue to NOT pay their taxes? You and I are required to do so, then explain to me why they are NOT going after OUR employees, the gubmint workers?

HYPOCRITS!
