Well, actually, it's the government with your money that does bad things.

You are subscribed to the government and won't do anything about it. So, it's actually mostly your fault (society).

Until people decide this is not the way of life, this circle will continue until extinction.

I think it's a fine thing to take responsibility for your government. But it's a bit much to blame people for the government doing bad things with "their" money. It's not their picture on the money. There's no unsubscribe option on a tax return form. You can't opt out, and even in our Western democracies representation is... poor, to say the least. The distinction between a government and its population is not meaningless.

> and won't do anything about it

We vote. The only legal democratic tool to "do anything about it", isn't it? Only our vote is a minority one that doesn't count much.

And what the hell is "society", anyway? Given that, say, 70 percent of the population votes one way and 30 percent the other way, is there any fault with the 30 percent? Are they "society"?
