Which is why the system needs to be built on consent, not extortion.

In the military we had a saying: "There is only one thief; Everyone else is just trying to get their shit back."

The same applies to the monopoly on force, extorting individuals and corporations, but corporations can actually afford paying off and directing government towards their competition (and us individuals).
