Yes, certainly, most of those problems in the US are created by government policy and government workers.  But the voters select the elected officials so they have some blame in this.  The way the average American voter votes, it's like they don't want to live in a better world.  They are likely just ignorant of reality.

this is simply not true though.  The illusion of choice is ridiculous.  You can choose from 2 extremely similar candidates that get all the funding from the parties that are backed by corporations and corporation agenda.  They just end up ignoring public opinion whenever it doesn't fit their agenda anyways.  If politics was actually decided by the american people this would be a completely different country right now.  Just look at the tax cuts for the rich being passed right now with 69% of Americans opposed.  You call that representing the people?  

Maybe in the state you live in the candidates are similar.  That is greatly changing in New Hampshire at least.  Very different pro-liberty people are starting to run for office and actually win, on a statewide level.  Though, nationally, there are only a few people like Ron Paul and Rand Paul out there.  I'll keep working to imporve things in NH and maybe voters in the rest of the states will slowly get their act together? 

American people don't vote on national policy and I don't think that would work well, anyway.  They often got to vote on state and local policy though and often select the anti-freedom position.  Voters deserve some of the crap the political elites throw on them.
