The call: The author states “The state’s regime partnered robbery of the franchise with robbery of the purse.” (Coates 574)

The response: The government is basically in debt. It feels like the government is being robbed. This can be related to people when others rob them or when someone takes something. Robbery is a crime and apart of the law which relates back to the government explaining how the government is in debt. If anything, I feel like the government rob others which is a little confusing reading that the government being robbed. In my opinion, the government is over everything and everyone which means to me that the government cannot be robbed. In my opinion, the government made college a scam especially having students pay for an access code to do homework which makes a question comes to mind, how can the government actually get robbed. The only thing that comes to mind that could actually be a possibility for the government to get robbed is if someone tricks them or hacks into their system which I think is impossible. But in the reading, it does feel like the government is getting robbed which is what stood out to me because can the government actually get robbed?

The question: Can the government actually be robbed?
