The amazing thing is that the government doesn't get nearly as much tax income as you'd expect from these hugs companies. It's almost as if the politicians have some other, secret motivating factor. Oh well, I guess we'll never know.

wait, are you saying that there's this class that are the beneficiaries of governments and laws, and it's the same as the class that doesn't suffer any limitations when they do stuff that the governments and laws don't like?

and that we're in this other class, that the laws and stuff exist to punish, but has to fund them and pay for them, or we get punished for that too?

that's fucking crazy.
