What value do they extract? They provide a good or service to denizens. Unless of course you believe in a serf model of government in which people are an asset of the state and everything should serve the states goals.

This is increasingly, and worryingly, becoming an ideology people are being swept up by.

It doesn’t help that there are Card Carrying Socialist activists in our public school system in Australia, indoctrinating kids in to a politically and economically bent out of shape ideology.

I don’t believe many Australians are aware of just how dangerously few steps away from the mouldy bread and rotting fish head soup lines version of “equality” we really are.

Since when has government, of any sort, been a reliable arbiter of truth or wisdom?

P.J. O’Rourke would be turning in his grave.

Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
