It’s always appropriate to point out that ‘they’ are ripping you off because in a very real sense ‘they’ always are. On the other hand, when you work tirelessly to take government control away from a group of especially egregious and bloodthirsty crooks, you might take note that your guys are in control now and that the ‘they’re ripping you off’ message is now working against you.
Of course, ‘your’ guys are probably only marginally better than the especially egregious and bloodthirsty crooks, but I think it still pays to notice the change.
