They don’t care about us, all they want to do is line their pockets at our expense. There is so much corruption in governments, they don’t care whether most of us live or die. The sooner most of us realise that the better.
I don't think you should blame the government if they seem to be greedy and selfish or not keeping to their words, all these things had to do with more money and if they get elected to whatever position they'd look for a way to recover those money they spent during the campaign and it creates an avenue to start stealing from the poor to fill their pocket, deeping their hands where they shouldn't.
This act of taking more without remembering the people who voted them is just the blindness of money, they tend to forget the promises they spit on the ears of the citizens, is like there's a force behind anything politics that make them all to forget what they "had in mind" to do or promise.
Then if the government ain't to be blamed in such acts then it's either the masses are to be blamed because some must have to be defaulted unless you mean to say it's their right to feed on the public funds just because they spent a lot during an election.
At some points as the case maybe depending on the position you're aspirations for in the government, you're expected to have got a lot of money for yourself so you can serve the people free and fairly without hoping to feed on the public funds instead you're to even support the public with what you've acquired personally or your own before resuming office.
On a norms, occupying the political positions shouldn't be considered a source of income prioritizing superiority instead of a call to serve.
