The problem with Government, at least in the US, is that there's two parties in charge of it. One party tries to get it to work, the other party says "the government is broken, let me show you how broken it can be." Government also doesn't tax the crap out of us, taxes have been higher in the past, just the biggest money people get the most tax breaks.

I used to think that was true, but there's a lot of stuff they could try to get to work that they sit on their hands over. Preferable to the side that works to make things worse but still terrible for the average citizen.

Totally. We should just start demanding they work together.
