The government does nothing but take from successful people. Successful people are the most taxed, most regulated, most harassed of all citizens.

To those who've got theirs and lack a well defined social conscience, the government is only an obstacle to getting more, and the more liberal the form of government the bigger the obstacle.

Sure, they want roads with street lights, they want safe cars, they want their meat inspected, they want schools, they want police, they want fire protection, they want the military, they want the courts (only when they need them), they want elections, they want their roads cleaned and maintained, they want the FDIC, they want the SEC, they want clean air to breathe, they want want want want. But they don't want to pay for it.

They give themselves all the credit for their success, and none to the system of government. A bunch of ingrates.

I really get sick of listening to the assholes whine 24/7.
