Its getting bad. All these lawsuits amount to one thing. Money. ANY lawsuit won the gov. gets a percentage of it in taxes. Doesn't matter which side wins. If there is a cash settlement the gov. will get at least 1/3. I won't play the lottery for that reason, its a hidden tax structure on large amounts of money. My odds of winning are slim and none but regardless of who wins the gov. gets its share, every single winning ticket. People just don't get it, they think the gov. is so concerned about us, we are no more than a number and a source of revenue. And with our contributions the Beast grows bigger and bigger with a hunger that is harder to satisfy. My favorite saying....."We're screwed. We're in some deep sh-t now."
