I'll agree with her not pretending to be anyone's Governor any longer.

She stepped down as governor. Was that the right thing for her to do or not?

If we started on an individual level perhaps getting to corporations later, in some cases the government is taxing 30%-40% of a persons earned income taking into consideration all forms of taxes. The government can take your real estate through eminent domain. The government can control your wages, where you work, when you work, if you work. The government can take your children if they feel you are inadequate. The government can control what you eat. In my county, they even tell us when we can wash our cars. so, how you come up with "0.2% stake", would prove to be interesting. the government is in every aspect of our lives.

You live in fear, that's a choice. A bad one.

Isn't there a difference between having fears and "living in fear". I am getting tired of people pretending they don't have normal emotions and normal emotional responses to issues. Are you actually suggesting that you have no fears?
