This breeds more crime, in an escalating cyclic pattern. Taxes are a joke. More taxes are always the answer to government mismanagement. They mess up. Taxes are reaching cataclysmic levels, with no slowdown in sight.
Politicians are out of control.
Their yearly salaries are more than an average person will see in a lifetime. They have been entrusted with the power to regulate their own salaries, and have grossly violated that trust to live in their own luxury. Maybe we have to contribute ideologies to achieve the perfect utopian government. Remember, government-sponsored health care was a communist idea. I hope it doesn't come to that.
