Hot thought for this morning. All governments are mafia-like organizations. They project a facade of serving the people, but behind the scenes they are all busy stuffing their pockets with cash. If you are a member of the ruling cabal, you've got it made. If you're not, you're screwed.
That's the way it is all over the world no matter whether the government is a democracy, a republic, an oligarchy or a dictatorship. The problem is not the form the government takes, but whether it is competent at taking care of the things governments are supposed to take care of, like ensuring that the food supply, the infrastructure and the military are all up to snuff.
If the government is incompetent we get the mess we're in right now.

Government is a broad brush and unfair to the millions of people employed by the Federal, State, and local governments who are trying to do a good job. They're trying to help people who need it.
If you have evidence, even circumstantial, about someone in the government being bad, out with it.
But this "government is bad" with a wink like I-know-what-you-don't, or you-know-what-I-mean, is bullshit. Certainly the politicians at the top are doing their best to build defensive fortifications around their job, that's politics. At least here they don't get airbrushed out of pictures.

Yes I heard the same thing being screamed by a naked man dancing on a downtown street corner.
