A lot of ‘government bashing’ around here … as if folks have forgotten ‘we’ are ‘the government.’ ‘The government is us.’
...I remember a real asshole president ...and an equivalent ‘speaker of the house’ running ‘against our government,’ Republicans, they won. Why? Because too many poorly educated folks had sucked up the notion that government was bad. It’s as good and bad as we are ~

Since all people like progress and to do better than the earlier generation, and progress comes in two forms, getting more out, and putting less in. Therefore it follows, that for the political establishment the ultimate destiny of all governments is to take everything in taxation and give no services in return. OK that is a joke yes, but it is also true that the only thing which prevents this, is strong active democracy by the people, people get the best they can force government to give.
