5 Ways the Government is Like a Crazy Girlfriend

#4. Give Her an Inch in the Relationship and She’ll Take the Whole Foot.

All relationships deal with certain degrees of finesse and class. A man must make certain concessions here and there. But like any arrangement between two parties, lines must be drawn.

You want to take some aerobic classes, but you cave into your partner’s demands so that she won’t get mad at you for not spending more time with her. Despite the fact that your physical shape is slowly deteriorating. But, hey, but she’ll still love for who you are, right?

You want to exercise financial restraint, but that Luis Vuitton purse looks so tempting to her. She begs and insists that you buy it for her. Despite all your warnings and objections to this spending, you yield and buy her the purse just to make her happy.

The aforementioned concessions may seem rather miniscule independently speaking, but they eventually add up. At a certain point, she will have complete control of you. Don’t be shocked if your girlfriend cheats on you or unexpectedly breaks up with you further down the line.

All those local smoke bans, licensing regulations, and food safety ordinances seem like trivial intrusions at first. But over time they grow into more comprehensive regulations and eventually turn into full-blown bureaucracies that control all aspects of your life.

Limits on government must be set. That little regulations that citizens overlook, can easily turn into a regulatory monstrosity if they continue to let the State surpass its boundaries.
