why do WE let the government do this?

Question

I've always heard that during the founding of this nation that it was a solid concept that is this government should ever break the laws against its people, that they the people CAN REJECT IT.
that was what this country is, standing up and rejecting this insane abuse!

Answer 1

What abuse? You mean taxes? It is kind of horrendous.

Answer 2

The problem is that most people really don't care these days... or they only care about whatever the media crisis du jour is, and forget about it quickly.

We are taught to believe that our government is a permament entity that will always take care of us. The truth is that governments are nothing more than the largest business in the country, and like any other business they are self-serving.

Answer 3

My friend, our government is corrupt and has no real mind of its own. It is controlled by the mood of the times, what people want to hear, only to go back and rewrite it after leaving the nation with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Don't even bother pondering it, you won't get anywhere. No one will.

Answer 4

I think everyone that mistrusts/hates the government so much should start their own country. Like Peter in that one episode of Family Guy. I'd kinda like to see how that works out.

I'm only joking but it would be interesting if it was possible.

Answer 5

It's easyer for us you be abused by our government then to stand alone in rejecting it.

It's human nature to be afraid to stand up and become a voice.

Answer 6

nobody does anything though because the general public is not organized and you need more than one voice alone to stand against somthing as big as the government. well, that and no balls

Answer 7

We have mostly all become cattle placated by TV and booze. Moo! ...follow the cow ahead of you...do what the herd does...
