    That’s what they do. Find effective government and then sabotage it so that they can shape it according to their agenda.

    The IRS is a great example of this. Make taxing slow, painful and expensive, and then turn around to complain about taxes so you can give hefty tax rebates to the rich and prevent money from going to infrastructure and instead funnel it to the same rich people via subsidies.

    It’s so fantastic to see democratic mechanism get gamed for the power games of a petty few.
