Government has been corrupt since the dawn of society. There are old Caesar quotes about how he controlled the population. The thing is that people simply will not accept that they have gotten got. Even if you lay it out so a 5 year old can understand. Because it's simply to horrible for a regular person to accept that they've been a useful idiot all their life.

They were born into slavery. They've lived in slavery all their life. It's literally all they know. They don't understand there is very little difference between getting whipped while being called a slave and simply having a gigantic chunk of everything they create or make taken under threat of violence.

Arguments like but we get all these things. School, health care etc. When everyone pays 3 times as much as they get back on average. They think roads and everything somehow disappears when the greedy peddo's who do nothing but steal disappear ;-)
