No, you simply didn't get it. What words do I have to use ...I don't know... it is not for the government, its for the PEOPLE.

If you want to see the guy who benefits from your taxes look in a mirror (that applies only for half way decent democracies though).

Now you could say: But the government is funded with tax payer money. Then I would answer: You rather want to be ruled by people who have to earn their money from lobyists? (If the politicians get decent money they are less vulnerable (not immune) to lobbyism/bribes... which certainly is to the greater benefit of the people in general, because lobbyism/bribes usually benefits only a selected few).
