Subservient Servants

The concept of a selfless and altruistic government has no meaning.

Who has the moral right to arrogantly approve or deny and so decide who gets what? When it comes to 'government spending', it is taxpayers' money. It's public money: all of it. Government has no money of it's own, but only it's grubby hands on extorted taxpayer-earned income.
