The purpose of any government, is to uphold and govern the wishes of the people. Not decide if they will grant what the people want, in accordance to what best suits the government.
When a government has more power than the people it's intended to serve, it is no longer serving the people, but instead, it is serving its own interest. Not yours buddy.

The government (all government) has metastasized into a virus that must be eradicated.

It isn't doing you, or any of us any favors. It's holding humanity back. Plain and simple. We don't need it.
