    That is a valid take. It also a sign that the current system isn’t working.

    The people should be in control of the government and the government should spend money on its people.

    Unfortunately, that isn’t the case right now. We need to work together to fix this.

      Jup. Governments are way too large for their own good, gets involved in way too many private matters and is insanely expensive. We need to drastically downsize the entire thing and have it focussed on their core job again.

        I would disagree, I think governments could stand to get bigger. Tax the wealthy more to close the income gap and get single payer healthcare, so our healthcare isn’t tied to our jobs.
