Gov is a collection of the people it governs in a democratic society.

While your argument does have some logic behind it, I don't believe it is the government's job to distribute welfare to the needy. It has historically been the church and righteous men who have come to the aid of the needy.Quote from RCG Trader:
Redistribution of wealth thru taxation is very irritating. I have to look at it every January. But, one day I realized that if we did not do this, we would have much larger problems.

Quote from pspr:
WhiGovernment has a habit of going overboard on such programs and runs them in a very cold and inefficient manner resulting in waste, abuse, and fraud and eventually doing serious social harm to those it pretends to be helping. Thus alienating both the overtaxed and the inefficiently aided. Only those abusing and running the system are advantaged.
