If you absolutely had to pick one thing on that list of your to keep, what would it be?

The power to tax is the power to destroy.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.

If it exists, tax it. If it doesn't exist, tax it. Any loopholes? Tax it.

"We control what you watch and you read and pretty soon we're going to own the fucking air that you breathe"

You know Americans have become batshit insane when the government is destroying the US and Americans beg the government to take even more of their money.

Nobody is begging them to take more money. Politicians just tell everyone that poor people are begging them for more stuff (maybe they are maybe not), and that they need more money and power to do it. Sometimes they'll even skip the first part entirely and go straight to "no child should have to suffer..." arguments.

I remember about 20 years ago people joked about a tax on water. We joked about it because of how ludicrous it was. I cannot believe I lived to see the day. Next they'll tax the air we breath due to the green scam.

This causes riots in South America.
