Just look at auto insurance. Not only are we FORCED to carry it, but the govt. actually openly holds hands with the insurance companies to charge us more money.
Traffic cops are little more than revenue generators for insurance companies. You get a ticket...they instantly send the info to the insurance company so they can raise your rates.

That kind of bullshit would be unthinkable back in my grandparents early days...but with "babysteps" the govt. has little by little slid this shit in and gotten us all to just accept it as "the way things are".
