There is too much us vs. them in government. We are the government and we want to feed ourselves and it is our right to instruct the leaders of our government to take care of it's citizens. It is not the will of the people to starve or be starved. It may be the wish of a few in control to force servitude on it's citizens but they are not the majority nor are they our lords and therefore do not have the right to deny the basic needs of humankind. On the contrary, we have the obligation as a nation to feed and provide health care to our citizens without question.
