Nor should it remove responsibility from the government for
contributing to and helping to coordinate all the craziness. The
politicians are the biggest swindlers here by far. And they take no
responsibility whatsoever. They just keep swindling and convincing
people that it is for their own good, we will protect you, next time
we will get it right. Just give us some more of your money. Yeah,
that's the ticket.
