How can the government...?

It should not be the government's job to ensure product safety. Recalls are made by the manufacturers when they become aware of a problem with their product, usually through numerous consumer complaints.

Yep. The Feds can, through Yahoo staff members. The Feds can do anything they want under the guise of "National Security".

All governments rule by force.  Some are just a little sneakier and you don't realize it.

The government has no right that we do not give it.  They have the duty to offer us protection and work with foreign governments on our behalf.\n\nThe government does not exist without our consent.

Um because the government runs the country

The government deals basically with two things: the inside of a country and the outside of a country. A country is defined by just an idea, that is written on a Constitution. All countries have some type of document that defines what the country is and who their people are, and the rules of the country. If you think of a soccer match, the government is the coach, and the people are the players. The constitution is the idea that formed the team, and the rules. The game itself is like foreign relations.\nThis metaphor is very simplstic and has a lot of holes, but it's kind of like that.

Federal goverrnment oversees the states. Imagine each state as it's own country then giving them a higher authority to answer to.

The people should define the government.

The government is the representation of the people until the people don't feel they are being represented fairly or appropriately.  Then they cast the bums out hopefully and get folks in there who look, walk, talk similarly to how they do.  Sometimes this system does not work too well.  Like now.  Corruption and lack of a proper watchdog agency combine to create this current ineptitude and criminality.

This is a government question?

I assume you mean what DOES the government do with local and state taxes.  If not, then it seems the dose is never enough.  \n\nOn a local level, the taxes are used a number of things.  Here are examples:\n(1) Installing and maintaning sidewalks and streets\n(2) Construction for the schools\n(3) Attract businesses to locate in the area\n(4) Entitlement programs such as medicaid.\n(5) Offer job-assistance for the unemployed\n(6) Employ police officers, firefighters, medical workers\n(7) Grants are given to organizations who can do charity work more efficiently than forming a government agency.\n\nOn the state, it's about the same type of spending but on a grand scale.  Taxes are used to pay for the roads all over the state.  The salaries of teachers, educators, and state agencies come from state taxes.\n\nThe role of government is to protect the people and allow them to live a free and productive life.  The challenge occurs when more and more taxes are collected for entitlement programs.  Some believe that problems can be solved by spending more money.  Others will say that is not the best solution.\n\nIt is a good question - what does government do with the money.  On a local level, you can always go to the City or County Manager and ask to see a copy of the budget.  That will give you an idea of how the money is allocated and to be spent.

Don't believe what you read on the internet.\n\nDon't be stupid you moron.\n\n\nThe government can figure out how to do anything do you REALLY think they could pull off something like this?  There is no way, most of the people working in government are completely inept

unfortunately you cannot, government officials have the same protections we do unless they are using government computers to do so.

You can't believe what government tells you.
