-You just do not seem to understand "we are the government"! Clearly, we are not the government. We elect it but that is all. Once elected, governments do what they need to do in order to get re-elected again and again. First let me say again that I am not against the presence of a government and some form of democracy. I am against big governments. Governments become big because the voters ask more and more from them. Most of the voters do not understand economics. They vote for the party that promise the most for their own benefit. They vote, possibly inconsciously, so they can delegate some of their responsibilities to the authority in place. In the end, almost everything becomes the responsibility or the fault of the government. Voters are never at fault. This causes the government to constantly intervene in all ways of life. That is why we are where we are now. You did certainly the right thing for your mother. This is the normal behavior of a good human being. We do not need big government to be good human beings.
