"owning"
Haaaaaaaah.
I think you mean stealing!
Nope. Show me how the government owns the means of production in the US.
It is the few that own it here.
Show me one single solitary instance of communism which did not result in a oligarchy more oppressive to the proletariat than the bourgeoisie it vilifies.
Name one.
Since government is an abstraction of individuals and there is always a revolving door of individuals going from government to corporations, there is a direct link of a select group of people who are running our country. I call them kleptocrats. There is no distinction between government and the elite people who own industry or production.
Stop paying taxes and you'll realize just how quickly government shows it owns you.
Get it yet?
You're free to leave, as I am anytime.
I will stop paying taxes, by leaving.
