Its ironic when you think about it, if they weren't busy stealing from me and trying to run my life I wouldn't give a shit what they did.
Pay your taxes without complaint. Be a citizen.
Citizenship these days is badly overrated. Medieval serfs got to keep more of their earnings.
They couldn't buy much with them, though, and they didn't have a government that served them in any way except (maybe) to protect them from brigands and other lords. Nor did they have any social and economic mobility, nor much freedom or much of a life. At least some Americans still have that mobility, though much less since the conservatives took over in 1980. What you forget is that quality of life is about more than just your own personal stash of money/wealth.
