Do not steel, the govern-cement hates competition.

The entire problem is that the govern-cement was set up to manage people (tax livestock). And the number one responsibility of govern-cement is to continue govern-cement.

So, now lasting solutions can be reached.
You can not offer aid money to a person without first stealing it (at gunpoint) from someone else.

Thus, govern-cement is evil.
It is not a necessary evil, but humanity has not worked this one out.

Fortunately what is about to happen will seriously weaken govern-cement.

• we are about to have small, community sized, sustainable power sources.
• we are about to have small, community sized, water sources.

With these, people will leave the cities and form groups of like minded people. They will grow their own food and be fairly self sufficient. Much like the Amish, but with space age technology.

So, as the govern-cements try to tighten their controls, their power base is about to wash away.

Further, these groups will not only make less money, they may even forgo paying taxes all together noticing that the govern-cement is not giving them anything for it.

The govern-cements of the world are doomed.
