Doesn’t that just describe our government in general? It’s not just on the federal level that your representatives are expected to bring home the bacon, we do it at the state, local, and any level of government that exists.

What the people don’t realize is that as the power of the government expands, their personal power and freedoms contract. This is a zero-sum game. When government gains power, the people lose it, and when the people gain power, government loses it.
