Don't hate the game, hate the player.
Why can't I hate both?
What? No ill hate this game thanks
So you don't want taxes to pay for roads and so on?
That isn't the game being discussed.
I'm what way is it not? We pay tax money to the government. That's the game. A good government spends it on things that benefit their citizens. They are the players. These arseholes are cheating and spending it on themselves and their cronies, and ways to terrorise their enemies. The game is the same but the people playing it aren't.
But thanks to everyone for all your insults and downvotes. It's just like being on Reddit.
We are upset because of exactly what you are talking about about: the leader PLAYING A DIFFERENT GAME THAN WHAT WAS AGREED TO. The game you described is what should be played, but instead they play "how many poors can we get to eat each other today?"
People are being rude because you sound like every self confident prick in right wing circles who smuggly says "yet you live in society?" any time someone suggests improving anything.
Nice try jackass
If the player makes rules of the game, hate both.
