5. The Government preying on the poor.

When you have the situation we are in today where progressive taxes are out and revenue is produced by State lotteries, cigarette and liquor taxes and traffic fines, we have created a government the preys on the weakest of its people. We have created a cannibal state. That was the suation in England when we revolted and left.
My area of Maryland has contracted out to a company to put in speed and traffic light cameras. One of those devices showed up in my colleague's neighborhood. He was unaware of it, and got 6 tickets in a week for $60 before he even knew the machine was there. He was driving 42 mph in a 35 mph zone. It is just a money maker, more preying on the population.
