@marwilliamson Are you suggesting the bloated bureaucracy isn’t killing the average American? The bureaucrats are who lobby congress to legislate against the people…

Of course this con can last. Several massive cons have lasted decades and Americans don’t do anything about them.

@foerglikecyborg First of all, no, we would NOT want to resemble Mussolini. And it’s very sad that anyone thinks it is the “bloated bureaucracy” that is taking your money rather than tax cuts and give aways to the very wealthiest Americans. Can this con really continue to last? I actually don’t

This is a very good reason for why we should continue to let our bloated, bureaucratically-run government get even bigger and take more of our money for themselves

After all, we wouldn’t want to resemble Mussolini
