The results of a Pew Research Center Poll conducted last month are in and they show that a vast majority of Americans distrust their government. Specifically, the poll found that 76 percent of Americans believe government will do the right thing only some of the time or not at all. Only 3 percent surveyed believe government will do the right thing “just about always.”

'When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.'

'And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.'

To be a 'nitpicker', I believe it's not so much the 'government' we don't trust but the politicians who run it all. In a perfect world, where everyone played by the same rules, the US government would be trusted here and in the world. But our world is not perfect, the politicians are not perfect, therefore the government can't be trusted.
