There are two basic theories of government. One is the government represents the collective interests of the people. Their job is to ensure everyone has their basic needs met, housing, food, medical care, education. The government should protect the population from criminal predators. The other theory of government is that its function is to ensure the wealthy can make money. The government must help stop the people from interfering with this enterprise by suppressing unions, consumer labeling, consumer protection, social safety nets, taxes on the rich etc.
