"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Government is the Engine for Perverse Incentives
"A perverse incentive is the third way by the state. The perverse incentive tries its best to encourage sub-optimal behavior to benefit the few at the expense of the many. It is a means to subdue and force loyalty albeit, a false loyalty from the lash and the fetters. Innumerable penalties and threats are the lion’s share that leads to the well-trodden path of the statist ladder of obedience – threatening, fining, kidnapping, caging, maiming and killing."
