Government's Influence on Citizen's Lives
Governments have the capacity to significantly enhance the lives of their citizens through specific, straightforward actions that they typically refuse to take. This inaction is often attributed to a conspiracy between political parties, corporations, and media outlets, which benefit from maintaining the status quo. The failure to appropriately tax the profitable mining and natural resource sectors is particularly highlighted, illustrating a lack of fiscal accountability. Reforming these practices could fundamentally improve the economic landscape for everyday citizens.
