Do you trust your Government?
I personally don´t. they tend o promise too many things and take care of the least important which fall into nothing in the end.
What are your points of views?

No I don't really trust my government. They have some laws that I believe really encroach on your personal freedom. And all the taxes and fees and stuff we have to pay for stuff that we need is ridiculous. People should be able to get medication if they are dying even if they can't afford it. It's just kind of strange that whole entire countries will give all of the control to people that are nothing like normal people that we would know.
I don't understand how people that rich can actually decide for us on a lot of things.

Yes, that is very true, the problem is the Republicans which in other words make the rich richer and the poor-well you know how it goes.
I can´t believe that the USA being the worlds most powerful country has their citizens pay huge amounts for medicine.
I guess they can´t pass the law of "free health care" because it generates too much money and are afraid of loosing that.
What is next? Making it a law to have health insurance? It would not surprise me really.![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbdown.gif)

I don't trust our government, there is a lot of corruption going on. Because of that the benefits that are suppose to go our health care, our loans and education and more are diverted to their bank accounts. How, look at their properties, they got many cars,many houses and travels all the time. But the people we have to work hard to live and support our education, to pay for private loans and also to just be contented with what the health system can only provide us.

Yes is a sad true, it does happen and there is nothing we can really do about it. The Government is not even what it stands for, its just a mere manipulation for those who are rich and want to get richer. ![](/Content/images/emotes/sad.gif)

liars, selfish, rich... I agree with you in so many ways. It is ironic how the lives of many depend on these people.

Hello Beatrizguiselle
I do not trust my government either. Not health care, retirement or social security.
Security of this country and what they agree to with foreign countries and foreign banks too.
I live in the United States. This is sad I wish I did but all they do is take and take and hardly ever give back.
Thanks and have a great day

The government is the hardly the problem. It is the people who are running things that can be a problem. There could be a structure set up for a government when even a trained monkey can run it successfully. Yet, someone, politicians seem to botch it, whether it is is due to not knowing any better, their own incompetence, or a self serving agenda. Or the agendas of other people. I would like to trust the government or rather the people running it. I really would like to. However, when there are promises made and then broken, often times with the exact polar opposite being done, than that does little to build trust. Trust is not freely given, it is earned and so far, it is not. Hopefully it will be and I really hope it will.

Hard To Say Something, Never Think About That. Maybe Trust in Some Ways, Some Not... They Are Working There and We Don't Know What Exactly... :)
