No I’m not. The issues change with their ability to generate revenue. Do you really think govts and beaurocrats throughout history really cared for what bothers their citizens? I don’t. But they will act like they care, if it is something that will generate $$

Yes. What is the purpose of government in the first place? You can start with Cicero, Romans Chapter 13, Divine Right of Kings, Founders who emphasized individual rights through a government and end with the central planners who seize not only revenue, but shape cultural hegemony as a well through the government. The history of government has not always been about the cynicism in the collection of resources.
