Government

The Government Card is meant to unveil the true nature and the violence inherent in these common place organizations. A government is an organization that has the power to make and enforce laws for a territory. The problem arising repeatedly throughout history is that governments are granted or assert rights and privileges that would be unacceptable to grant to any individual. This problem manifests as governments seeking to maintain a monopoly on the use of force and violence, and coerce payment for its services from the population with unauthorized taxes. With absolute power comes absolute corruption. �There is no more dangerous menace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men.� � Ludwig von Mises
