Many right-wing sources of media coerce people on a mass scale into railing hard against things like paying taxes and Government. The problem is these people don’t fully think about how they’re actually railing against their own interests. In addition to a long list of goods and services, Government is our only hope, through legislation, at keeping things like dirty corporations regulated and in check.
