    I came across this sentence in an article about the election and I thought the first half was really good description of what government is and why we have it. Shared benefits and acceptable restrictions.
    I think the second half is a little too simplistic.

    Seems pretty spot on to me. We all appreciate the benefits but resent the hassles and expenses.

    It’s always been a necessary evil.
    The real trouble is keeping it in check…not allowing it to grow uncontrollably.
    Hard to do with so many govt lovers out there.
