Some will say that while it is true that government, at all its levels, has grown to a bloated beast of bureaucracy, I go too far when I claim that “…crime is government’s biggest industry.” It is not all that odd when you consider that the State derives revenue on both sides of the law. Remember, all those licenses and permits you are required to obtain in order to exercise your freedom are accompanied by fees. While on the flip side, every breech of the never-ending, self-perpetuating, always-growing bureaucracy carries a fine. You are forced to pay in order to abide by the law so you can avoid having to pay for breaking the law. We are forced to perpetually feed the State’s beast with a steady stream of scrumptious dollars picked from the pockets of citizen constituents.
We always enjoy hearing a fellow curmudgeon rant against oppression. Here's R. Lee Wrights' latest polemic.
