Government doesn’t understand, we’re subservient

Right always on the scaffold, evil always on the throne. In the shadows, ever mindful, God is watching over his own.

What is it about fixed income that all levels of government don’t seem to understand?

Why is their survival to be sustained in the manner to which they have become accustomed, more pressing than the survival of those of us that have now become subservient to them but are still good enough to pay for it all?

Why does government not understand that their nitpicking adjustments to our right to the pursuit of happiness, life and sustenance was the basis for all the activity we were involved in in 1776?

They rage on while many of us can no longer do so. When I and others get to the point that we can no longer afford to fund their insolence and lifestyle and stop paying for it, are we to just dry up and blow away? Are they banking on that?

What does our aristocracy think will happen when the goons, dogs, chains, guns, tasers, etc. show up in our driveways to confiscate all that we have?

The only way for evil to prevail is for good men to obey.
