Dependence Day

We depend on government:

• to pave our roads,
• to feed us
• to give us housing
• to give us handouts
• to tax the rich and give it to us
• to keep us comfortable while in jail
• to give us methadone
• to give us free health care
• to give us free medicine
• to give us police protection
• to fight fires
• give us ambulance service
• to protect our parks and forest lands
• to fund innovation
• to run the courts
• to tell us what we can and cannot buy and sell
• to tell us where we can and cannot drink and smoke
• to tell us how much nicotine we can have in a cigarette
• to take our money and throw it away
• to add friction to private enterprise, some good, some bad
• to make laws that effect all of us except those who actually vote on the laws
• to control the expressions of faith, even when no one is threatened

Happy Dependence Day!!!
