"You work every day of the year, except for three lousy weeks.
You make around a hundred thousand dollars.
Your boss takes two thirds, and gives you one third, and you
give a third of that to the government.
Your government uses what it takes to build all the roads
and schools and police and pensions, and your boss takes his
share and buys a mansion on an island somewhere.
So naturally you complain about your bloated inefficient Big
Brother of a government, and you always vote for the pro-owner
party. How stupid is that?"
