    That depends entirely upon which "bums" to whom you are referring, doesn't it?

    You got that all wrong. That's ALL they should be allowed to do. I think you meant, "the government shouldn't be allowed to steal."

    Government automation....

    Why not start with the GS-10's and above?

    Fire them now and replace them with an old Commadore...Then "donate" their savings to the bums..
