"Returning the Guard Dog to Its Chain?"

________

Does it make sense, in the specific context of Bible-based Christianity [defined by the teachings of the Old and New Testament, let's say], to liken the role of government to a chained-up junkyard guard dog?

I.e., governing authorities are to defend [not seize] specific territory [namely, the lives and property rights of the citizens] by punishing or even killing evil aggressors.

When the government uses its "sword" to steal from its own citizens [fiat, legally enforced monetary monopolies, money printing] it's like a junkyard guard dog getting off its chain leash and indiscriminately tearing into people instead of protecting only its area of responsibility.

#Bitcoin puts the chain back on.

It restrains the government's power, monetarily.

"...The only way for the people to keep their government in check was to control the government’s resources.

If the government needed more money, therefore, it should approach the citizens to pay higher taxes.

Inflating the money supply provided it with more resources than the citizens were ready to contribute..."
