Default Biggest problem you have with your govnernment?

A lot of people here feel that there should be some sort of major change in the system they live under. This is caused by some sort of injustice percieved as real or otherwise. So if you were all of a sudden granted powers to change anything about the current system you live under what policies would you change?

or

What is the biggest problem/issue you have with the current government/political system you live under?




Examples:

Government provided healthcare or lack of

Lack of broad representation/one or two party system

War on drugs

Environmental policies

Taxes for government services you disagree with, specifically education, defense, roads, welfare, farm subsidies, other/all

Some other issue?

Try picking the one that is you biggest pet peeve, something that makes you blood boil when you think about it.

Like maybe Medicaid, why waste all my money on some old geezer's health when he is just going to die soon anyway.

Just as a nitpick. Medicare subsidizes care for the elderly; medicaid subsidizes care for the poor.

My biggest problem with them is their existence. Other than that, I think they're a swell group.

Yeah I get it, AC folk don't like government.....

but the thing was I was trying to find out what is your most pressing problem you have. Hence if you could change one specific policy what would it be? If you don't like to pay taxes then say that. If you don't like the govenment telling you what you can trade or who you can trade with then say that. Saying "booo govenment!" does not add a lot to the conversation.

What's the point? It all sucks beyond extreme. War, poverty, brainwashing, destroying the market, destroying the currency, destroying morality, destroying the environment.

It's a big [censored] parasite that needs to go.

Yes, but that's not what this damned thread is about. If you see a thread asking "what's the worst thing about prison: solitary confinement, sodomy, other?" do you instead answer "prison just sucks in general?" No, of course not. Everyone knows prison sucks in general and that's not the damned question.

I'm going to go with taxes. Without taxes, they cannot do any harm.
