Citizens Don't Trust Government? Ya think?

Voters and taxpayers don't trust the government? Huh? Is that news? Look at the kind of people who get elected to office these days. Roger Morris in his book Partners in Power about the Clintons observed that the preferred candidate for leadership, elected and appointed are weak persons with relaxed rectitude, the kind that goes along to get along. Not all leaders are that yet. But most are and soon it will be all. How many Judge Mark Wolfs are there in the USA? Weak officials allow criminals to use government mechanisms to steal taxpayer funds. Without law enforcement mechanisms keeping the government honest the corruption gets worse. Voters remain silent about 19 homicides by an FBI informant now on trial in Boston US Court. They remain silent about a frame-up of four white men for murder by the same Boston FBI. Local police informants and FBI informants are out of control stealing from, harassing and making life miserable for government critics. Most voters fear retaliation from government agencies which is itself a violation of state and US laws. The same corrupt officials enforce those laws. Why are these concerned academics silent at the prestigious Kennedy School of Government about police and FBI corruption? How many academics at Harvard work with the corrupt officials?
