You do make a point. But the government is producing it.

You know how people always go on about X% of people commit Y% of crimes or X% of people own Y% of the wealth? What % of the population makes up the government? And what % of those people are calling the shots? If you consider your average paper pusher in the government some other idiot that just trying to make money, that means an extremely tiny % of people are pushing the agenda.
I want to say "why has no one stopped them", but we are at a point in history where people have finally had enough and are starting to try. So I will ask this instead; 'Why did no one care when they first started 50 years ago?"
People took up the revealing swim wear, people took up the drug culture, people took up the promiscuous culture, no one care when they started to mass produce naked pictures, etc. You cold even say it was earlier than then, when people gave up their own freedom in exchange for government to protect them, which birthed the mass income tax. Government and media has the power it does now because the people give it to them. The people can also take it away. Look how long they let sin take hold before they finally decided it was too hot.
