The townspeople gather with their rakes, pitchforks, and torches. They will drive the monster out to the Old Mill in hopes of there making an end of him. It's all so low-brow, worn out, and formulaic.
By the way, if you are an average American, some 20-25% fo what you think of as your "hard-earned income" comes directly or indirectly from public sector spending. You are in fact standing at that famous trough, and you probably know the guy standing next to you.

I should hope so, since the average American pays more than that in taxes.

But this is why we have townspeople in the first place. A town where only scholars, intellectuals and philosophers comprise the population, would not long endure. I view pitchforks and torches as another form of taxation, a necessary evil, that we pay to keep society stable.

In fact such places do endure and often become the most desirable places to live anywhere in the country.
Health insurance companies. How they inserted themselves into the doctor-patient paradigm I'll never fully comprehend. They provide absolutely no value whatsoever to the health care economy.
Actually, they subtract value from what the health-care recipients get and for this, they are compensated by the payers. Their contribution to the system, is as leeches. When doctors stopped using leeches on patients, the insurance companies filled that role.
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? I've been homeless, how did I cost taxpayers anything? Oh, and I was employed while homeless.
Health care, shelters, food stamps, hotels that the city pays for, soup kitchens, extra police, rehab programs,transitional housing, job programs, etc. I just saw on the NYC news that flop house hotels that take city vouchers for the homeless charge them $195/night but charge regular customers $145. Crazy.
I rent a room in an overcrowded (11 ppl in small 3BR) house from someone who doesn't own the house. He rents it from an absentee landlord, lets his adult daughter, her boyfriend, and their infant live in the house for free, lives for free himself, and charges the rest of us enough rent to cover his costs. You don't even have to own anything to be a rentier.

That's a relief, I didn't use any of those things when i lived in my car.
