It is not "the government"

Every time you see the word government or federal government, in your mind substitute "the people working in the capital." Because government isn't a thing, it is people. It is the people working in the capital. We did not give powers to government in the Constitution, we gave powers to the people working in the capital. State or D.C.

These people took these powers we gave, and abused them, acting as this camouflaged thing called government. It's not government. It's people working in the capital. Elected people, appointed people, hired people. Government is like Soylent Green -- it's people.

The entire complexion of the debate -- and your understanding -- changes, when you stop talking and thinking about so-called "government," and start talking and thinking about the people working in the capital, to whom we delegated power. They are the problem. Not some amorphous, faceless, indeterminate so-called three-syllable g word.

I've used the word government throughout this Page Nine report, so you can make the change in your mind and see how it works. Watch the news and read the papers and make the mental switch. Whoa.
