"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Who Can Take Your Money? The Government Can
From Tim Hawkins:
Hey everybody! Gather 'round! I'm here to give you
anything you like! You want free college, money,
mortages?! Whatever you like! You have come to the
right place! Why? I'll tell you why!
Who can take your money? With a twinkle in their eye?
Take it all away and
Give it to some other guy
[Chorus]
The Government
The Government can!
Who can tax the Sun rise?
Who can tax the trees?
Let you run a business and
Collect up all the fees
[Chorus]
The Government can 'cause
They mix it up with lies and
Make it all taste good!
The Government takes
Everything we make
To pay for all of their "sollutions"
Healthcare, Climate Change, Pollution
Throw away the Constitution
Who can give a bailout?
Tell us to behave?
Make the Founding Fathers
Roll over in their graves
[Chorus]
The Government takes
Everything we make
They're power hungry
And malicious
The economics are fictitious
Soon we'll have to eat our dishes
Mmm! Delicious!
Who can be a failure?
In so many ways?
Instead of getting fired, HEY!
We'll give ourselves a raise!
[Chorus]
The Government can 'cause
They mix it up with lies and
Make it all taste good!
And your government can 'cause
they mix it with lies and
Makes it all taste good!
And I feel so good
Because the Government
Says I should! Oh!...
