Why is it so hard for people to see that our government is corrupt?

Do your own research, don't just believe everything the media says. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I follow reason and logic. wake up people!

    Because they blindly believe the media. The media praises the government and the people fall for it. Nobody cares to research

    If you follow a reason and logic then you should state that reason and logic - where you started from and how you arrived at the conclusion. Then you should open up that explanation for comment and input.

    Because the media is more focused on the governments from other countries .... Whenever you turn CNN on, you see Egypt, Syria , Afghanistan , Pakistan etc

    Yeah most people know it, but if you ask people why this corruption is a problem, you'll get a lot of stupid answers. Anyway, nobody seems to know what to do about it. I sure don't.

    Your avatar looks a lot like Elliot Rodger, btw. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

    Because most people who go around mouthing off about how corrupt the government is couldn't even tell you who their congressional representatives are, which executive department heads make up the presidential cabinet, or what they even do. I'm not saying you're one of those people, but in most cases their ignorance about even the basic structure and function of the federal government is breathtaking.
