The mafia comes into a business and extorts them. They say they want 10% of all you earn. The government does the same thing its just called a "business tax" rather than "extortion".You may have to go through the Mafia in order to start a business, just as you have to receive government liscencing to start a business. The irony is if Joe the Plumber were to do work on any of John McCain's houses he would be taken to jail because he doesn't have a plummers liscence from the mafia..ahem.. I mean state.Mafia provides protection and security in exchange for dues paid to them just as government does. They are associated with fear and violence just as government is.Really, what is the difference? Yet everyone calls on government whenever there is a problem. So government just gets bigger and more intrusive.

Some of the best plumbers I have known don't have a license. But besides that I joke around all the time politics is just like the mob. The only difference is you know that the mob is about. You know what you are getting into if you get involved with them on any level whatsoever. The Gov't you have no idea whats going to happen.
Great line from the Godfather movieAl Pacino (Michael): My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.Diane Keaton (Kay): Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don’t have men killed!Al Pacino (Michael): Oh. Who’s being naive, Kay?
