Government is more like a buffet. There are appealing items for everyone, as well as things to avoid. When we see the government’s menu items as good, we are happy and go about our business. We don’t worry much about it or what it’s doing, except to the extent that we cast our votes for people who will maintain the status quo. When the government is bad, we get upset. We make some noise and cast votes for people who will change the status quo.
