| government creates order, order creates security, security can lead to happiness. there are LOTS of examples of governments that don't give a damn about the happiness of their people. and then you have opposing examples.
and, if governments gave everyone what they wanted, they'd be completely bankrupt. the bush administration is trying that out right now.. giving tax cuts, military pay raises, record-high pork spending, prescription drug benefits, amnesty for illegal immigrants... everybody's got their hand in the pie, and the twit at the helm doesn't care whatsoever - he's the biggest spender of them all. |
