Citizens in many countries view their government with despair. Their government takes a big chunk of their hard earned income in income taxes, sales taxes and licensing fees. Many citizens experience a huge bureaucracy whose service is bad, where there are long delays, and where there is no recourse to alternative suppliers. Governments pass a lot of regulations that limit business freedom and raise business costs. Consider the money that businesses have to pay to reduce pollution, to make food safer, to renew licenses. Add to this a deep anti-government ranting by critics who excoriate government at every opportunity. The average U.S. citizen will hear much more excoriation of government than praise, leaving many citizens with the feeling that government is too big, wasteful, and inefficient.
