"We're having one hell of a time getting a handle on this thing, it's typical of the way government operates, there isn't any complaint, there isn't any charge, just harassment from some kid who's unsupervised and is running around at the taxpayer's expense." (2.7.46)
Hammond dislikes the government, whatever the country. To him, the state is an opposing power, a force that prevents him from doing what he wants. He's really the only "taxpayer" he cares about. It's not surprising that Hammond has no concern at all for the social safety net or for the greater good; it's all about number one.
