I don’t understand the anti-government sentiment that has been so pervasive in certain circles. The basis of a representative government is not an inherited organization that seeks to oppress or control the people. Rather, it is an institution of collective action that allows us to attempt to act in the best interest of all.
The government is us, it is supposed to be of, by, and for the people. Sure, we should be working toward purifying and rising to that ideal, but that is done by changing how government acts, not collapsing it entirely.
Apparently Paul Ryan doesn’t get that.
One response to “Why Do We Hate Government?”
I’m all about the anarchy!
Nah nevermind, I like having a job.
