A man named Friedrich Nietzsche said, “Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.” While it is a truth that everything the government has it has stolen, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that "everything" it says is a lie. But it does lie an awful lot, and one lie stands above all the rest. When the government tell the lie that "we the people are the government," it convinces people that they need the government and that the government has our best interest at heart.
