all governments are powered by those they rule over. without the authority (our apathy) & taxes (our money) they are just idiots in the corner. all governments are inherantly wrong. they cant solve anyones problems, only create laws about it. there is nothing they do better than private industry, used to be space exploration but thats out now. obviously they cant protect but end up endangering us by producing policies that are the reason that 'terrorists' are mad enough to attack. the cure for a corrupt government isnt a bigger government, like the un, the cure is no government. basic technology has given each of us a voice (1.800 numbers, internet, ect), theres no more need for representatives that swell & bloat the governments to absorb so much of our wealth (taxes) that most live in poverty. the mindset is reliant on government so much that the thought of life without one is scarry & absurd. if you can think of something governments do really well, lemme know.

why do American people get so up tight when any one asks this question. it concerns them more than everyone. they might have been lied to by there government and they need to ask these questions them self's . the American people don't work for bush . bush work for the people he is paid to look after them not to lie to them . but Americans treat him like a emperor or a king . all evidence i have seen shows that there is a possibility that the government maybe involved. \nit may have been easy to hijack a few planes but how did these Arabs have the power to take over control of the air defence systems of the most power full nation in the world.\nand who gained from these acts not the American people not the Arabs ? the people in the US government have all gained AR MES OIL control over the middle east and the longer these wars go on the more they will gain.\ni sometimes see some snarly answers from some people on this site they say go back and find put on your tin foil hat. but i say they are the fools whats the problem with trying to know for sure if you have been lied to.America wake up because you are the real victims innocent people are getting murdered in your name.

It's a bit fishy. Lots of questions haven't been answered. I'd say lying :)

I think our country and our goverment are corrupt, and the country mainly because of the government.The war in Iraq is having a huge effect on today's society, and the fact that a lot of federal funding is being used for a war that i see as huge mistake isn't helping. Taking the federal funding is lowering the funding used on disease control and cancer research. And then all the money going to rebuild New Orleans isn't helping either. Today's society is based off of money and power and eating. Many people's lives revolve around computers and the internet. People wonder why we have an obiesity problem and there's your answer we have to much so close to us. With the internet people don't go gain experience and do research which doesn't help with people's attitudes. America seems to be a corrupt and war based country. We say we're fighting for freedom when really we're trapping ourselves. The more wars we get into the more "national security" we have. We're watched like dogs we no longer truly have freedom because of the  securities we have. Benjamin Franklin once said, and i'm paraphrasing, that those who would give their freedom for security don't deserve freedom or security. And that's the majority of the people in the US today from what i've seen people would gladly be protected and watched then have the freedom that our forefathers fought so valiantly for. This is what i think, i'm not trying to start anything so i hope nobody takes this offensively, I am a US citizen and a republican i'm saying this about my own country, maybe i can open some eyes to what's going on in the US today.

Everyone who works in the government is reporting lies just so people will not know the truth?  \nThe same numbers that you say are claimed by the conservatives are still the same ones that were claimed by the liberals under Mr. Clintion so theirs were false as well?

I wish I could give you that answer straight up, just like a shot of Tequila.\nThe Government made a lot of Propaganda movies for us during WW11, and showed us sending , Chocolate, wheat, Cigarettes to France and Italy. It was a train, and wow, hey, where were we when Katrina hit. Not a plane one, here was our President begging us to give our money to the Red Cross which is really controlled by the Government isn't it? \nI'm confused sometimes. We are in a fix. I would have to hire the Pentagon to tell me where my taxes go. Certainly not the FBI. They no longer exist, now that the Pentagon has given them a workover, and also, given them a large part of the Blame game.

No, unfortunately they have often been found to be lying or bending the truth to suit themselves. \n\nWe have done some of the most horrible things in this world. Like assinate leaders of other countries, started wars on false statements or on outright lies, we have used atomic bombs & other horrible weapons, we pay countries money to get our way, we even possibly have had people killed like Marilyn Monroe or JFK for reasons that are poor at best. There are loads more, but you get the idea.\n\nDo we have good things that come from our Government, YES. But am I blind and stupid, NO. There is nothing wrong with seeing the Bad and Good. There is also nothing wrong with Critisizing the Government.\n\nAnd for those that tell me to "do something about it" I have and continue to do that, so please don't patronize me, you don't know me or what I do.

As an American I have to add that I believe it is better for the American people that the British government  to be more leery in their support of American government.  When your government doesn't openly question my government, American and British citizens both lose.\n\nLet's face it, we have fought together in many battles, we have pledge our lives to protect each other...why can't we disagree on some issues?  Wouldn't disagreement on some issues be more healthy?

I do not agree with what our government is doing, but I believe that has a lot to do with the Bush administration. I've never been so disapointed int my own country before. Honestly, I am scared of our well being because of what they are doing.

Contrary to what they tell us it is part of their plan for the new world order. They think the people are unintelligent and are unable to have a government  "of the people, for the people and by the people." Our government rules by their own beliefs, not the beliefs of the majority of the citizens.

Rule #1 - Governments Lie.  That is universal, here there everywhere.  \n\nWe need a restructuring of the system, it is not individuals, not organizations even, it is the system that they operate in.  Democrats and Republicans are two branches of the same business class, elite, corporate owned party.  They express the interests of those who pay them to advocate for them, no vote could compare.  Sadly on the State level less than 1% of most budgets are spent on aid to people - housing, food etc.  People need government interventions to sustain the bottom and curtail the top.  In an unbridaled "market" the system canabalizes itself, we are humans not robots... why not go for a system that is for humans?  Why treat ourselves like units, where our only duty to our society is to consume?  That is foolish.  We need a human system that listens to human needs and operates to enhance human life rather than hammer it into some unit, some barcode, some automaton.  \n\nAnother world is possible... ya know?  \n\nIt starts with seeing what we got for what it is, and then realizing the interests we proclaim to have are not best served by this stale and corrupted two party nonsense.   We need change and we need it now.  \n\nGreed needs regulation. Otherwise, whatis stopping someone from selling you dogshit and saying it is hamburger?  We can do better.  \n\nLook to South America, the positive changes there should be implimented here... but that takes work.  People work.

I think that this government is really nosy. I agree, we have problems. Huge problems. We are in billions of dollars in debt, they're cutting fundings were we need it the most. Its not fair in this system of things.
