Meanwhile, there is a boom going on in the economy in dunning the deceased!
Were not talking about collecting from big-time debtors who still owe several hundred thousand dollars on their yacht.

If you mean the mega rich, when you say government, I agree.
I prefer to think of the government as all of us, which makes it worth supporting. The problem is getting our government back from the people who stole it.
