Government is a Scam

 

Government is a sanctioned shell game that lets contributing and controlling businesses make gobs of money out the wazoo while sticking "it" deep into me and you

Well Damn It's a Scam
Whether by truck, plane, or tram
Do crime against Big Business
And with Fed Tyme you'll be slammed

Reagan "fired" striking air traffic controllers
Canada's Prime Minister "intervened" against the railroad workers
Biden "took an interest" and "offered assistance" for Teamsters and rail workers to find resolution

The "Old Days" Wild West made equality work best
Back then business ran the town
And the Council footed the bills
all the way down
(The biggest store owner was often the mayor)

Paid for sheriffs Paid for jail too

Paid for the schoolhouse
Built sturdy from the roof on down
Paid the undertaker out their own pockets
When a random guy went in the ground

Weren't no taxes Nor referendums
No special requests to fund the town
But in today's world It is the people paying for upkeep
Scraping for pennies when schools are falling down

Road improvements make travel easier
Hooray for Trucking Interstate Commerce
But it is tax money that pays these improvements
But for the taxpayer The commute gets worse

Not sure if I'm "mad and raving" or just "raving mad"?
Check this:

Airlines are all privately owned, but
If you make a bomb threat?

The USPostal Service is a privately owned business, but
If you damage a mail box, steal mail, or ship illegal items?

Railroads, railyards, and railways are cross-country and international private enterprises, but
If you dig up a track or topple a trestle?

Yep,
Fed Crime with Fed Tyme

Some tax-money provided police will take your overtaxed, non-business tail
to a tax-money built, private prison and your own lil private, taxpayer cell

My thanks to William Johnstone's westerns for pointing out the obvious,
and to Clive Cussler's Isaac Bell series and
Michael Z. Williamson's Freehold and The Weapon for driving these points home.
