LOL what bollocks. Do you even know what governments are for?

Hint: Not to protect the handful of super rich billionaire type owners. I know, I know, unique concept as an American...

You think in your country the government serves you. That is a very naive way of thinking. Why would they love you so much, is it because you bother to show up at a polling station once in a couple of years, or is there some other source of attraction?

No other source. Getting elected is kind of important for a democratically elected leadership though.

Not every country has 'SuperPACs' and other corrupt ways of getting elected by throwing enough corporate millions and billions one way though.

Keep dreaming buddy. You may love your ruler, but that is a one way relationship. Your ruler doesn’t even think about you.
