It's because you don't control one single iota aspect of the government. Let me give you an example. In philly they have a 10 year "abatement" for renovated properties so that renovators don't pay their new tax value for 10 years. The "government" in philly is in a feverished argument on whether to remove it or not. On the tabloid driven surface they make the argument on whether it's better for the people or not. But if you ever get a glimpse of internal arguments, it's about whether which will actually make the "city" more money. No abatement means less renovations, so less improvements to tax at all. They viciously can't figure out which makes them more money.
This is why I say you don't control the government. They only think about what makes them more money. Paying off those loans makes them JACK SHIT. They ain't paying for it PERIOD. You live in a post populace participation in government country. The ONLY thing they care about is averting complete crisis as far as worrying about your opinion goes. Imagine a country where truly all they care about is getting the MAX amount of tax from you. THAT'S WHAT YOU LIVE IN.
At this point their ONLY arguments are whether taxing you more, or "giving" some away will genuinely ultimately make THEM more or not. They are LLOOONNGG past whether you care, aside from full on crisises and full on revolts.
