    The government is not there to serve you, it’s there to govern you.

      The government is there to govern society in the best interest of the populace. That is a form of service.

        No, it’s there to govern society in the interest of government members and their friends. Always has been.

      yes, but only in authoritarianism. In a democracy it’s the opposite: the raison d’etre of the government is to serve the populace.
