I was bitter about a government that had a curfew on me at age 17, Yet I was a highschool graduate attempting to work enough to pay for college credits. I was severely restricted because of child labor laws that wouldn't allow me to work at factories or most other high paying jobs.

I didn't make much money, but I was paying the highest tax rates of my life because I was single. If I screwed up I would be treated as an adult. I could not buy a drink.
I got my draft notice when 19, I then joined. I could not vote or have a beer when I was at home. Although I was entrusted with crypto data, and procedures at my job. At home I was allowed to carry and shoot a shotgun or rifle, but was denied the right to own a handgun. even though I qualified with M1911a1, m16 and m60 at my job. I was nineteen at a foreign country and the Germans would allow me have a beer, my own home state would not.

Government almost always is unfair. I trust them even less than they trusted me at 17.
