VAMPIRES IN WASHINGTON DC
You know, this whole ‘farming’ the productive citizen thing is really a wonderful analogy to what the federal government has become.
In one of the Stargate science fiction worlds, there are these vampires that treat human populations as herds of cattle, and they ‘cull’ the herds to feed off of every so often.
Now, the federal government doesn’t do that. THey just make sure that none of us will ever be self reliant enough to do without them, and so they harvest enough of our productivity through taxation that we continue to labor, but then, have to spend our old age in poverty.
So, I tend to think of the federal government as an enormous vampire clan.
Because it is.
