Keep it simple when racking your brain trying to figure out why government takes so long to do anything halfway useful or productive.

Don’t assume they know what they’re doing and that’s why it’s taking so long.  After all, they’re experts right?  Who told you they’re experts?

The reason government takes sweet time providing anything at all is simple.  It doesn’t have to provide excellent customer service.  It doesn’t have to compete in the market place and provide anything at a competitive price.  Why not?  Because it lacks competition.  Government is in the business of eliminating competition, free thinking, and self reliance.  That’s is it’s job security.

The federal gov’t is a for profit corporation.  City, county, and state gov’t are all franchisees of federal gov’t and are all for profits as well.  City, County, and State gov’t all work for the federal gov’t. Not you.

Gov’t is in the business of screwing things up that could work well most of the time if left alone.  Why?  Because it has to struggle to remain relevant in changing times and remain relevant in your life.  Efficiency saves money.  Gov’t is not in the business of saving you money.  If it got efficient and enough folks caught wind of it, said folks would expect lower taxation.  When do you suppose your tax bill will go down?

Asking a gov’t hack to stop taxing you is asking that hack to eliminate his or her job.  Not gonna happen.  Baby needs a new pair of shoes, right?

If you catch on to how stupid, slow and inept gov’t is and how much putting up with it is REALLY costing.  Well, you just might get so pissed that you’d do something about it.  If you had a set of balls.

Gov’t doesn’t want you to know its terrible secret.  The secret is you don’t need it.  The secret is it lies, cheats, and steals as a business model.  Corruption is where big money is made.  There’s plenty of profit in playing fairly for most businesses.  But that’s not enough profit for greedy, illegitimately elected pencil pushers.

Never forget: lying, cheating and stealing is the gov’t business model.  Research your local elected gov’t hack.  Mayor, state representative or governor.  Dig for their profession before and after taking office.  Dig for their net worth before and after taking office.  Who did they marry?  Is politics their family business?  Don’t forget, politics IS a business.  A HUGE one indeed.

As for employees of these corrupt corporations, most are unaware of what’s really going on at the top.  At the top, the job has nothing to do with unselfishly serving people.

Gov’t is supposed to be serving you.  It’s been turned around.  Now you’re the one serving it via taxation.  By the way, the word service is derived from the Latin word servitium, which means servitude, bondage, or slavery.

In the end, we tolerate gov’t for one reason.  We’ve come to rely on it far too much.  We believe it’s not our job to fix things.  The modern welfare state has replaced fathers in homes.  Govt wants it to stay that way, like a big union protecting its workers.  

How do you help change it?  Self reliance.  Learn to be more self reliant in any way possible.  Pick one way for starters.  Do a little bit at a time.  Grow your own vegetables.  Harvest rain water for drinking.  Don’t send your kids to gov’t schools.  Stop taking vaccinations.  Turn off mainstream news.  Give up TV.  Read a book.  A real book with pages.

All things that grow start out as a tiny seed.  They require time, care, and attention.  Just like you do.  Be good to yourself.  Keep that moral compass with you at all times.  Beauty isn’t complicated and it’s not expensive.  Create and share something wonderful with the world.  Go ahead, you can do it.  The rest of us will be right here waiting for you.
