    Some days it’s less “government” and more “protection racket”.

    “Gee citizen, nice life you have here. Nice job, nice car, nice house, nice wife and kids. It’d sure be a shame if someone came along and arrested you for something. But maybe if you pay us a little reasonable fee, we can keep this kind of thing from happening to you.””
