How can a bunch of independent minded Americans all acting as individuals, let their government get out of control the way it is today? The answer to that is easy. Americans simply define themselves as independent minded. In real life people don’t act as individuals. They adopt a group opinion and profess it to be their own. Public opinion is easily managed in this regard. The public ends up serving the government and agreeing to do so. Much of what people do is driven by instinct just as is the behavior of herd animals. This is especially true in the areas of economics and politics.
