Topic: Why do you hate government? - page 2. (Read 2005 times)

hate my goverment because full of corrupt.

The worst is my penalty for corruption is too low
for example ;
my goverment corrupt about $ 416.000
The penalty only 2.5 years
How that corruptor become wary ??

Oh I don't know about that.  I indirectly know several people who I feel comfortable having the gov do this to.  Are referring to people who have this done without due process?

If a man is raping a 6 month old baby, yeah I got no problems with the gov throwing him in jail.

Because they think they own a person just for being born on their land. Even if you move to another country, you are still expected to pay taxes and obey a bunch of federal laws.

I am not against the concept of governments as a whole, just in the way the are implemented.

Recently, I have been considering the concept of a virtual nation. It would be voluntary to join and would be ran more like a business. Government would be minimal and the yearly fees would be mainly used to protect it's members. Kind of like an insurance policy.

From reading history, I have felt that in the past when polytheism was more common, religious groups protected from the excesses of government. Their members formed close knit organizations. Eventually monotheism took over though and eventually the resulting single religion in any area merged with it's local government.

Our founding fathers had an idea of creating a constitution to protect people from government excesses. This idea is failing. There is no current counterbalance to government growth. Voting is ineffective since the lowest common denominator will combine their votes to ignore the natural rights of others. Government has become a cancer. Look at the war on drugs.

Cryptocurrencies will start taking away some of the power of government as fiat currency will lose a lot of its power. People will have a way to store, protect, move and hide their wealth.

Government will still survive though as they can use import/export taxes, land taxes, and heavy user fees. For instance, my car registration went to almost $200 this year from about $60 last year. My mom who drives an economy model will pay more for mandatory insurance and registration this year than she will spend on gas. I wouldn't be surprised if people in some states start paying over a grand a year to register their non-luxury car before the end of this decade.

As governments get even worse about plundering from it's slaves citizens, they will provide less and less services. This will leave a gap to be filled and result in the emergence of new groups to provide this missing service. In a way, this is what gangs do in some areas of the country now. It may not be their primary function, but joining a gang provides some local protection.

The internet and cryptocurrency will allow the rise of virtual nations. Cryptocurrency is necessary for a virtual nation to survive, because it provides a way to save, move, and protect wealth.

Stupidity. Ok i understand that goverment is essential and without it our society will be a total mess BUT there are so many stupid people in the goverment! Or they are just pretending to be stupid while stealing my money?

Becuase they want to control everything, what you do, what you eat, how you fuck and how, where and who you live or love.

It seems every new politician has to pass X ammount of laws to get his name on them. Everything is about elections and re elections its all a sham to stay in power and the one with the most money wins, but he has to suck off all his donators or contributors even if that means harming people(Big tobacco ect),  Lobbying should be a crime.

Government = human's current failed attempt to get to grips with what life actually is.  There are no certainties. We are all going to die. We are spinning around on a rock in space.  Knowing whats moral is very tricky.

They promise a lot, do a few, but when it comes to taking to money, the goverment is always there for me.

Because not 1 person in government can go through the whole day without telling a lie.  It's pathological with these bastards!

Nobody should have the moral authority to kidnap someone at gunpoint and throw them in a cage.

I hate government because very often it'll start out with good intentions (like in the case of the United States of America -- they were basically kicking out a government that was disconnected with the realities of life on the frontier) but after a few generations, it'll jump the shark and forget why people ever wanted to form a new nation in the first place. I think mostly U.S. politicians have forgotten that being a Senator or a Representative was never meant to be a full-time job. Many of the first ones would just go to the capital (it wasn't originally Washington D.C. BTW, that was built later), vote on whatever issues were on the table, and then go home to be the local carpenter or farmer or whatever without wasting a lot of time. Now you get Senators whining about the expense of maintaining households in both Washington D.C. and their home state while they spend taxpayer dollars in a way that would have bankrupted the U.S. a long time ago if it was a privately owned business.

Isn't Leonardo DiCaprio in there?  I won't watch it.  Hypocritical bastard promotes green energy and parties all around the world on private jets and yachts - I bet he has used 10x more fossil fuel in his partying alone than I will in my entire life.  So that would be a no.

I've donated over 6 digits of USD to charity and helped build a school in a 3rd world country.  I don't believe I am rich.  I need to wake up to an alarm clock every day (or my kids crying) and I have to decide what to eat that day based on price rather than what I think would taste the best or be best for me.

The day goverment representatives actually serve the public I might change my mind.

Look at this disgusting video:

Moronic Hollywood detritus.  They're pledging to the President of the US.  No you fools, he should be pledging to us.  They are our servants... somewhere along the path to democracy/republic this got lost.

This OP seems an awful lot like a fishing expedition.  [adds you all to several lists]

I've said it before but if I ever made a large stack of money ( Like millions or billions ) I would put a portion towards funding a public non-government operated healthcare system if the government ever collapsed in the country I was living in at the time, they really do piss away our money on nothing.

I bet you watched movie "The Wolf Of Wall Street".... well, sometimes I imagine the members of the government having a lifestyle like in that movie with one exception: they live like that on our money...... idk if I'm right or not but that's how I feel sometimes about the members of the government

Because they take my money earned through my work with the promise of helping others and the community and then they spend it on themselves and idiotic things that have little to no functional purpose.  Let me use 1/2 my money on my community - I'll make sure the job gets done right.

Under the very best of circumstances, government is slow and wasteful. Both its structure and the incentives make it that way. At its worst, government is not only slow and wasteful, but is also incompetent and corrupt. That is why government should be limited. Government should be doing less, not more. Government is essential, so we must be expected to tolerate a limited amount of slowness and waste, but we should not tolerate incompetence or corruption.

Governments never want to represent anyone, they just want to get two things: money and power.

I didn't hate The Government, i hate people in it.
Almost all of Government's Elements in my country doing corruption.

Because they are fat and rich thanks to tax payers,while poor people exist.
