Citizens at Ransom

I think it is better to be a criminal in this society. It seems when you attempt to be a law abiding citizen you get shafted by the policy/law makers. Crime is on the rise, so what do they do - impose measures aimed at curbing crime which does nothing but make law abiding citizens feel like criminal. Revenues low because criminals don't hold 9-5s, what do they do - tax the shit out of the people who are gainfully employed. What the hell? Seriously. I work hard for my money, I have to work hard to keep it from the criminals and even harder to keep it from government coffers.
