Living for the Government

Here is a good Will Rogers quote I came across:

"I still believe there is not a man in this country that can't make a living for himself and his family. But he can't make a living for them and his government, too. Not the way this government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheaply as the people do."

The never ending thirst of government for more and more of our hard earned money makes us all weaker and eventually dependent on government. Maybe that is the plan?
