Personally, I'll stick with looking at the evidence, which clearly shows that most governments are in it for themselves and their "friends" but not the people.
Sure, sometimes their actions benefit people, but that's normally just a happy coincidence.
Take the HMRC decision on removing tax from biofuels up to 2500L a year.
Your warm and fuzzy view of the government being for the people would suggest they did it to help reduce people's fuel bills and encourage carbon neutral energy production.
In reality it was because it cost more per duty payment than the payment itself for non-professional biofuel producers (like myself) and the government was in breach of the Kyoto treaty by making renewable fuels more expensive than fossil fuels.
So the government introduced the 2500L limit to exclude non-professional biofuel producers and thus save money, and also bring it's policies in line with the Kyoto treaty.
The happy coincidence is that the action saves me approx £1000 a year in fuel costs.

thats the truth corse there not in it for the people, that is what governments were created for, i think someone missed a few history lessons.
but what i mean is there original purpose was exactly that, to be there for the people.
They are defying that n thus they must be removed
and stop waffling on about some bullshit aswell n be relevant.
i'm more against the governments in control than im sure anyone on this site.
