Do you trust the government?

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I do. I went to public schools. Ive gotten government/ state health benefits. i was on welfare for a couple months. ive gotten pell grants. teh government cares about you. they work for our safety and security. i may not agree with every action they take but i think they would know better than me and probably have their good reasons for it. sure i might think if i was in charge we'd do this or that but i dont want the responsibility. call me lazy lol, but what power to have to alter their actions anyway? i mean sure if it meant enough to me i might get involved. but thats a beauty of out government. our voices can be heard when we want it to be.

The government does all those things because it needs to keep the system viable in order to keep making huge sums of cash for a select few. You're just a cog in that system, so you have to be fed and watered. They care for our safety so outside enemies can't wreck their system or derail their gravy train. They provide certain things, just enough things, to keep you happy so you'll continue to contribute and be a useful citizen to them.
