not "like" IS. Its an extortionary parasitical relationship.... no difference morally from gangsters or the mob... except the "state" has somehow convinced millions of dupes of its moral legitimacy and inevitability.

gov says to me " thats a really nice medical practice you have here , it would be shame if something would happen to it.... you pay us 60 percent of collections and we will make sure nothing happens to it. "

if you object to this "arrangement" they lock you in a cage.
