Your distrust and strong misunderstanding about how the US government operates is simply astonishing to say the least. Like Korimyr the Rat states, "It is OUR government..", the proof is in the Declaration of Independance, Constitution, and all that the forefathers wrote to create, arguably, one of the best countries in the world.

My love for my country aside, I do not think this is unique to the United States. Government, everywhere it exists, can only survive with the support of the governed; democratic governments, such as our own, merely leave the reins of power closer to the citizens. They make it easier for the citizens to make their wishes known, and they bind the government closer to both the will and the well-being of the people.
