The alienation of citizens from their government is not limited to people whom the government decides to prosecute. Because so many regulations are so unconnected to anything resembling right or wrong, people who want to be law-abiding find themselves picking and choosing the laws that they deem worthy of respect. It is a pernicious process regardless of whether they get caught when they break the rules. People who feel compelled to judge laws on a case-by-case basis have attached provisos to one of their most basic civic loyalties.
Via Maggie's Farm and quoted from this article from The American.
Here in California, our leaders, all of the Democratic Party, are using their total political control to force their ideology on us and on our children. Not trusting that the Californians here for years would still vote to keep them in power, they are now attempting to swamp the state with illegal aliens by voting the entire state to be a sanctuary. Then, they will pay off all of them and eviscerate any effort to keep them from voting. A whole new electorate, bought and paid for with money taken from the traditional citizens. What could they find to be better than that?
When did the rest of us vote for this? Who wants five guys standing with you when applying for a job, but who will work for half the rate you want and without any benefits to boot? Who will stand up for the middle class, who stand to be devastated by this?
Where do we go to escape the traffic cameras, the spooks listening in to every email or phone call, the blizzard of laws telling us to do this or that? How do we escape the grasping hand of government, taking it's piece of our wages every time we do anything, and sometimes when we do nothing?
Alienation indeed.
