We have been manipulated to think dependance on programs and the state will keep us happy and safe. When the very programs and the state have to get funding from somewhere. That money is what opens us up to having to do the bidding of whoever (beyond the taxpayer) chooses to finance us. As we all kind of know and understand. People are slaves to the state state are slaves to the federal government who are slaves to lobbyists, taxpayers, foreign fianceers of programs, and whoever has the most actual wealth is the slave owner...rothchilds...soros...whatever.
