Because let's face it, the government's job is to maintain power at all costs and to extract as much in taxes as they can from their population.
That's the algorithm for staying in power.
I don't care if you're a king or a president or a dictator, whatever.
That's what governments do.
So why would they ever have our best interests at heart?
They don't.
Our best interests come second.
And what are they like?
Money.
Who gives money to the government?
big ag and big pharma and the big chemical industry.
And it gets a little bit darker too.
There's some evil in the world.
And I didn't used to believe that there was evil.
I just thought there was people who just didn't know.
I still believe in the inherent goodness of humanity and there are evil actors.
And one of the worst of all was Rockefeller way back in the day.
Rockefeller established the American Medical Association because he realized if he could sell chemical drugs made out of the petroleum that he has and he could cancel out natural medicine, he'd have another monopoly.

He put in place many of the institutions today that make people sick.
