>>And attach it to what? The government? Why? Because they have done such a great job of running other things like the postal service?
Keeping it away from the evil government has pushed it into the hands of the employer. Now government is called upon to intervene in a far more alarming fashion if you care about liberty and pursuit of happiness. Out of the frying pan, into the fire?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
