A citizen neither "owns" Government nor is separate from it. Government is a construct the people granted LIMITED power to, to act on our behalf with the Individual States, the Foreign Governments and other entities we have no power or control over.
Our current Government has usurped power that it was not given and expanded Government power and authority Unconstitutionally beyond the LIMITS established by the Constitution.
We vote for Representatives to act in our stead IN that Government. We have no power or authority over them except the ballot box, which has proven to be no real control at all.
We have no authority, no ownership and no power over Government employees no matter what department they work for). And we have people that think our labor, our lives and our time are somehow property of said Government.
Several of the posters in this thread have stated for the record that if the Government wanted to, it has the power to take all our labor and then chose to give us what it feels we need. This implies also that the Government owns our time and our lives.
That is not Representative Democracy. It is Communism.
The poll is useless. It does not even ask intelligent questions. Unless of course the poster wishes to clarify what he means one can not properly answer it.
