The government is an idea is the minds of people. It doesn't/can't have rights. It's a non-existent entity. And yet. People believe that it has the ability to create 'rights', and people will be somehow beholden to its pronouncements. Is government 'God'? I think to most people the answer is yes. It is their authority; such individuals are not an authority of themselves. The proper answer, imo, is that nothing except for my own heart and reason can guide me as to what is morally right or wrong. No work of man (law, religion, government) can say anything to me. All these works (law, government) are badly bent towards a self-serving elite, for the extraction of wealth from those that believe in these phantasms. We laugh at those in history who we are told tithed 10% of their work to their local lord in the feudal system, and 10% towards the church, but don't blink at paying 40% to the government. There are really only individuals, but the mind control in most is very effective.
