I'm not saying blindly trust the government on everything. Questioning your government is very important. But there is a baseline level of trust that must exist, you trust them to protect you in times of war, that the money you have will be honoured and so on. It's part of being a citizen of a country and people couldn't function within the country if everyone didn't trust the government on these things.
