That is absolutely true. Most folks in government think they're protecting us or helping us in some way.
Unfortunately, most are disconnected from reality - especially those inside the beltway. Unfortunately, they are no longer looked upon as being in a noble profession... instead, it's become them against us.
Too bad, really, but that's what bureaucracies do. It's all about paper.
