What would it be like in America if the government could not make people obey the laws?
HayleeHastings
Life in America would be very chaotic if the government could not make people obey the laws. Since people would not obey people of authority, they would do whatever they wanted and there would be no order anywhere.

No Government, Australia or otherwise is really concerned about its citizens. Though it may show a token concern by giving the citizens enough to keep them happy. Its main aim is to keep the people ignorant, giving enough out to keep the people reasonably happy. An ignorant people are a happy people, what they do not know will not hurt them. No government is truly for the people, if they were the country would not be in debt, farmers could grow what they wished to grow. Tariffs of incoming goods would be the same as tariffs going out. They would not align themselves with other countries. Everyone would have a job. Taxes would be fare. Government would be small and inexpensive. They would not take upon themselves more power than the people could give them, ad infinitum. The present Government of Australia is like a reconditioned broom, it is sweeping clean but its bristles will soon wear out.
