How to Trust the Government (Hint: You Don’t!)

Trusting the government is like trusting a Tinder date who says, “I’m not like the others.” Oh really? Then why do you have the same red flags and empty promises?

Here’s the problem: people lie. It’s a universal truth. If you don’t believe me, just ask anyone who’s ever faked a sick day. Now take those same people, give them a fancy title, a pension, and zero accountability—congratulations, you’ve just created a government.

"But Not All Politicians Lie!"

Oh, bless your heart. That’s adorable. Let me explain it in simple terms: politicians are like used car salesmen, but instead of selling you a dodgy hatchback, they’re selling you a dream that somehow always ends up in the shop.

They promise a smooth ride. Then the brakes fail, the engine explodes, and you’re left wondering why your taxes just paid for some guy’s third vacation home.

The “Good Guys” vs. The “Other Guys”

Every election, we’re told the choice is clear: "This time it’s different! These new guys are honest!" But let’s be real—it’s not a battle between good and evil. It’s a battle between liars and liars who lie about lying.

One side says, “We’ll fix healthcare!”—spoiler: they won’t.
The other side says, “We’ll fix the economy!”—spoiler: they’ll fix it for their billionaire mates.
Then, when everything inevitably collapses, they blame each other, cash their paychecks, and retire to a beach in the Bahamas.

"Just Follow the Rules!"

Oh yeah, sure. You must obey the rules, but the people making them? Not so much.

• You break a rule? You get fined.
• They break a rule? They get re-elected.

Ever notice how politicians always pass laws that make you do something, but never themselves? If the government was really looking out for you, why do they keep raising your taxes while giving corporations a discount? It’s like watching a casino rig the slot machines and then telling you it’s just “bad luck.”

The Truth About Trust

Here’s how you trust the government: you don’t. Not fully. You treat it like a dodgy WiFi connection—use it when it works, but always have a backup plan. Because at the end of the day, governments don’t exist to help you. They exist to help themselves while making you think they’re helping you.

So, can you trust the government?
Of course!
…To do whatever benefits them the most.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go check my taxes. Apparently, I owe money to people who already have all of it.
