Exactly right. I'll take the institution that gives me a VOTE, thanks. Unchecked power is never good, but my political representatives at least want me to stay alive so I can potentially vote for them, unlike a private insurance company that really would rather prefer a low-income bastard like myself be dead if it increased their bottom line - literally - as they reward and praise employees who deny or drop medical coverage and allow people to die. One institution, the goverment, profits from our continuing existence, because even if as underground musicians we are not making enough money per year to pay substantive taxes back into the system, we still have a vote; the other institution would rather see us dead if it increased their profit margin. People who don't understand which one is less trustworthy are fucking retarded. P.S. I align myself most closely with the libertarian party or extreme left democrats, but both those movements have been perverted by their current memberships so i voted for cthulu. I think the fact that those two theoretically disparate groups you just describe can now so easily be put on the same page is indicative of what I pointed out earlier; our political landcape has become a small contingent of authoritarian neoconservative corporatist goat fuckers with their neanderthal racist sheep bleating behind them vs. EVERYBODY ELSE. Consider that libertarians and extreme left Democrats, the two groups you describe, would have in the past been considered far from each other on the political landscape; against the cabal of power brokers controlling the modern day GOP, however, we all find ourselves united against the same insanity.
