It really has gotten out of hand. Everytime I see a new law being proposed I view it as if it were a job application, ie the government is looking for a job and wants me, the taxpayer, to hire them. If I would not pay a contracter who came knocking on my door to do that job then why would I want to pay the government? I wish more of the general populace would think about it in those terms before they get suckered into hiring the government to do more useless stuff.

I mean what person or family, etc. living in say Ohio would pay a private contractor to keep their property free of invasive pythons? Or who living in Arkansas would buy python insurance to cover damages that might be caused by released pythons that might become established near their property? The anwer is nobody. Nobody in those states and most other states seriously feels threatened in any way whatsover by the invasive python problem yet somehow the government is able to sell them this idea that they need to be protected from a problem that doesn't exist. If a private company had sent a salesman to their doors asking for a check to provide python control services they would kick him off their property and tell him never to come back or they would call the cops. It's downright fraudulent some of the things the government wants people to pay for nowdays.
