On the contrary. Governements most important task is to protect your rights.

Ok - now that is just simply an elitist outlook. What you're saying with that is, unless someone reaches a certain socioeconomic level, he isn't truly human, and doesn't deserve the same rights and freedoms. That kind of attitude just makes me sick.

I am not elitist. I am not even middle class. There are some very bad neighborhoods out there where people seem constantly at war with authorities. And they are lower class. Gypsy scum in particular. Police cannot enter these places without riot equipment. I wont harbor the illusion that they are unarmed now but there are huge risks for them if they ever show up with a firearm.
