I think you're supposed to feel like our current setup of democracy is failing us:
1. Governments fail to prevent evasion of taxes.
2. Governments make unfair claims on taxes when public outrage allows.
3. Trump got elected.
4. Most money spent by governments is blown.
I think many people seek a "one good guy, one bad guy" storyline. I'm not sure whether that's cultural, a part of our mythology, or biological. But it's probably something to avoid.
