Why can't people trust the government?

Question

name at least five causes why the public does not trust government

Answer 1

Let's start with the fact that the government has repeatedly admitting violating federal laws because it feels like it.

Tack on the fact that in the past two weeks, we have had scandals coming so fast that one doesn't have time to clear the news cycle before the next one hits.

And top it off with a Vice President who has been factually wrong about almost every assertion he as made.

Do you need more than that?

Answer 2

1. Too many new laws passed, which slowly but surely take away more freedoms.

2. The government is too slow and ponderous to address errors on their own part.

3. It is only natural for those in power to try to keep it that way.

4. A larger government will facilitate all of the above.

Answer 3

1) The government refuses to be open and honest about its motives

2) The government refuses to allow itself to be questioned

3) The government allows those with money to circumvent the system

4) The government was given almost (key word - almost) no limit to their powers to detain people indefinitely without any charges.

5) The government is currently controlled by idiots who have proven repeatedly that they can't be trusted.

Answer 4

Let's see:

1. Lack of accountability for public officials
2. Promises made but not kept
3. Changing positions on issues based on opinion polls
4. Scandals involving criminal acts and corruption
5. Attempts to cover up the truth (like the JFK assassination)

Answer 5

Why would you trust someone who steals 30% of your paycheck and then steals some more at the end of the year?

1. Spending
2. Taxing
3. Equality
4. Promises
5. Accomplishing Goals

Answer 6

Because they can be paid off.
Because they have agendas behind our back like the NAU and deals the American people don't support, know about, or have a voice in.
Because they seem more concerned about "globalization and big business" than they do about the American people.
They seem more concerned about changing the Constitution than supporting it.
They lie.
There seems to be a world wide view that they don't like them either, so there's probably more going on we aren't even privy to.
They have set themselves up to where they feel obliged to rule us instead of them being our servants.
They are out of control with their spending and expecting us to keep bailing them out with more taxes.
