We have an entrenched government cabal of employees and contractors in this government who exist for themselves - not for this country and to its benefit. True mercenaries loyal to the Empire’s Emperor only. If you see someone who works for IRS, HHS, DHS, ATF, et al, they are your natural enemies.
They're the modern equivalent of Rome's Praetorian Guard whose loyalty was to the Emperor alone. The modern Federal bureaucracy is a self-sustaining malignant growth on the body politic. It's bound together by public employee unions that use their tremendous financial muscle to elect politicians who'll give them more and more money and power. We have created a monster that now rules us.
