Have you ever noticed that the government uses the same tactics and ploys to get you to do what they want as the gangs do on the streets? They extort money from you and say it is for your protection and if you do not pay they will take or destroy all that you own, even lock you up. You can not even own a house, you can rent one; if you do not believe me stop paying the 'rent' in the form of taxes and see how long you stay there. They intimidate you with the threat of prison and if you still do not comply they will use force to beat you into submission and if that doesn't work they will kill you in self-defense. Yet it all for your own good and even done in your name, you pay for it, and have very little that you can do about it. In the end governments are just bigger gangs than the ones on the street. Have you ever noticed that?
