fair enough. the benefits of having a strong democratic government are so ridiculous that even if a massive chunk of it goes to waste you're still better off living in the country with a strong government than living in Somalia. and a shockingly large percentage of people in the US act as if the government is the enemy and cause of everything that's messed up. and a lot of time it's the same folks who think the government should be doing more surveillance, cops aren't using their authority enough, US should be world's policeman and invade/bomb more countries. go figure. everybody thinks the government should keep the other guy in line, tax the other guy, and give them the benefits and the services.
