Dependency America. The goal of every good Democrat, plus, once people believe the government is stealing from them and squandering their taxes, it becomes easier to justify “stealing” some of it back. The mindset of the third world spreads.

It’s an art in Europe to milk the government and participate in the underground economy. Many countries have a vigorous tax enforcement regime. Recently, in Italy, the tax enforcement agency decided a company had not paid enough in taxes and they simply withdrew the amount from their bank account. (At least, in the US, Treasury would freeze all your accounts until you voluntarily paid or were ordered by a court to pay.) Must be why Obama hired an additional 16,000 IRS employees.
