DNC: The Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To

Someone is getting desperate.

Clip from a video that played last night during the Dem Convention.

I do not belong to the government, nor does anyone else.  We own the government, and our elected local, state and national officials are beholden to us.  Granted, it doesn't normally work that way, but this clip is sheer madness.

As Frederic Bastiat wrote in The Law:

"Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on."
