Master_Shake, you DO have the option of going to a different government that might promise to take less of your pay-check away - I would guess that for example the tax-rate in Afghanistan is fairly low. But then you might have to hire yourself a security guard of your own - it all balances out in the end. Compromise, or go somewhere else - you still do have that choice - as you would if you were being squeezed by the Don.
I have to agree entirely with Mr Shake - In that there is very little difference between government and organised crime - both impose a form of organisation in return for a tithe. What IS different is the varying levels of size, success, acceptance, beaurocracy and 'ligitimacy' that each (and all manner of organisational structures including churches, businesses, gangs, families, herds, farms) demonstrates.
