IRS. NSA. Benghazi. Whitey Bulger. Each of these (and others) call the trustworthiness of government into question.

quote:
“One of the underpinnings of successful representative government is that voters feel they can trust their representatives, and those in the bureaucracy to whom power is delegated, to follow the law. … that trust has taken a big hit lately.”
“Enough breaches of trust … and ordinary people will start to assume that the whole system is corrupt.”
“…people will quit following the law because they think it's the right thing to do, and only do so to the extent they're afraid of getting caught.”
“When government officials breach trust, they push us closer to that sort of third world condition.”
Taxcutter says:
Hussein Obama and his administration have a distinct Third World odor of corruption.
