      It’s not about efficiency. It’s about power. It’s about making you feel like a piece of shit for having to rely on the government.

      You know, the government that’s supposed to take care of you.

        The government is supposed to be by us, for us. Technically, we get to define what the government’s scope is. But we make that decision as a group.

        I think that’s where the disagreement begins: they believe the government is a tool to exercise power, a weapon to wrestle away from their enemies, not an entity that’s supposed to take care of you.
