Imagine this: a campaigning lawmaker speaks to a rally and here is what he says: "Vote for me, folks, and I'll take of you.

That's right, my fellow countrymen, you won't have to do anything more than cast that ballot, sit back and relax. My government will step right in to usurp, regulate, and control lots of things you could better do for yourselves, but will no longer have to.

And we'll do it with your money.
