If government was run "for the people"

It would eventually cease to exist.

Government exists to concentrate wealth in the elite and executive class of society.

@Reason10 But if there are so few Republican donors and presumably votors, how come there are so many Republicans in office???😷

The Constitution was written to protect people from excessive government

I agree to an extent but with no form of government or higher authority you run the risk of anarchy and total chaos in a country. All systems of power are flawed but whats the alternative ? Until someone provides a viable option for something different nothing would change.

@lesulk the deference to illegitimate authority is a big part of the problem. Legitimate authority also disappears when no longer needed.

We are all in state of anarchy my friend. Embrace it.

A good government only "does for the people, what the people can not do for themselves collectively." Like build and maintain riads and bridges. Sign trade agreements with foreign countries. Maintain a strong military defense.

@calicuz When you find such a government please tell us so we can all come to the party. 8-)

Trusting government to pathologically 'do right' by ordinary citizens is a crucial flaw.

@JohnnySpot

Yes, everything "the people" can not do for themselves collectively.

I agree with you 100 percent, and please note that I said "good government," so the US Government with all of it's corruption doesn't fit into that category yet. 😅

Eventually the planet will cease to exist. So you are correct..😷
Sadly mostly don't deserve or want the for the people type government , all they want is government that is suitable for them personally.
No, but the USA would, and Israel too. Fake countries established with force. And they'd tell you we can't have it any other way.
