We should be sick and tired of being told that predatory corporate policies being implemented around us will include "protections" for the most vulnerable among us.

Fuck government policies that we require "protection" from... that odious refrain we keep hearing with regard to chained CPI, the TPP, corporate health insurance, environmental deregulation, privatization... The government should not be assaulting us, period. It should be working FOR us.

The government exists to help us make the most of our short lives on this planet. It should exist to serve us, not the other way around.
