You will interact with many different social institutions throughout your life. But, there's one social institution that's unlike any other. One that either already possesses, or is always striving to possess a monopoly on the use of force and violence. This group, which is organized and operates much like a criminal gang consists of about one in every hundred people currently living in your society, and they call their gang the "government" (a.k.a. the state).
Generally speaking, the state consists mostly of a large group of criminals ("made" men and women) who are either grossly ignorant of the Laws that are were put in place by our ancestors [in our nation's Constitution] to govern their behavior and secure our Rights as citizens, or who fully understand those Laws, but instead spend most of their time in government openly subverting those Laws in ways that are aimed at robbing you of your otherwise "Unalienable Rights" to Life, Liberty, and Property, and any ability that you may have to protect those Natural Rights in any meaningful way.
From the cradle to the grave, this gang of people who call themselves your "government" will regulate you, tax you, control you, number you, indoctrinate you, censor you, coerce you, spy on you, judge you, rob you, incarcerate you, and possibly even kill you if you don't obey their every command, and these are creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so.
In fact, without you having ever agreed in any meaningful and proactive way (such as in the form of a written contract) to support this gang at any point during your life, you will nevertheless spend your life supporting it, and living as their slave.
That's right, my friend. Where your government claims a prior ownership right to the fruits of your life; to your earnings; to your property; to your children; and to your body, you live as a slave. There's no kinder way to put it.

One of the saddest lessons of history is that when people have been lied to long enough by those who they have been taught to trust, they tend to reject any evidence of those lies. They get to where they're no longer interested in finding the truth. The lies have captured them. Eventually, it becomes too painful for them to acknowledge, even to themselves, that they've been so gullible and so naïve.
Sure. Finding the occasional straw of truth that's awash in an ocean of lies and confusion does require vigilance, dedication, and courage. But, if each and every one of us here in America doesn't start practicing those tough habits of thought soon, we'll never be able to solve the serious problems that face our country, and we'll continue being a nation of suckers who are lorded over by a bunch of criminals and psychopaths.
