2. It's a god complex

They look at the way most people live. And then, the way they live - plus the billions stashed in the Caymans and such - so they feel like gods among ants.

It naturally follows that a such a being should call all the shots.

At first, as you know, it was over taxes and regulations: Tons for thee; none for me (or almost).

But before long, they started taking it upon themselves to dictate what goes - and doesn't - even as far as personal lives and choices.

After all, the ants couldn't possibly know what's best for them. That's what the gods are for.
