Government will always serve the rich, the power brokers, and rarely the citizens that actually need "government" humanitarian aid.

I do not trust our system of electing a president or any political agent, much less appointments (judges, etc.) and agencies such as the IRS. EPA .CIA .FBI .NSA etc.
Our republic is in trouble, and is becoming a national socialist corporate entity rather than a democratic nation.
