When I applied for a driver's license in Texas, they had a list of things that I could choose to pay extra for, one of which was donating money towards testing rape kits. It still infuriates that they tried to pass that off of random people.

    One of the biggest scams the American Government ever pulled, was claiming that its responsibilities were actually that of the citizens, and that anyone who expects the Government to do anything but wield an iron fist is a "Whiny snowflake looking for a free lunch"

    That's just a symptom of the actual greatest scam: making people think the government should be a "them" instead of an "us."

    Its responsibilities are those of the citizens. That's why the government exists: to regulate, pay for, and administrate those responsibilities.
