I genuinely have never understood why people think the government/politicians are trying to help them. These entities are power hungry. All they believe in is control, if you don't believe it, just look at the thousands of laws/regulations we have on the books. The Fed certainly was NEVER intended to be as large as it is.
Look at the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto. It essentially calls for an all-powerful government to take over every aspect of society -- the banks, schools, communications (FCC with television/radio/etc), agriculture (Dept of Agriculture, BLM, etc). And it's way beyond that, with the government now trying to totally control the health care system of the nation, all foods and drugs (the FDA), etc.
We have been taken over, covertly for decades, by ideological Marxists at every level of society -- academia, Establishment media, government.
This all is sold, of course, as "reasonable" because the elites that run the government are always "ever-benevolent" and could only possibly be "looking out for the best interests of the masses", right?
But, of course, the real reason that the Marxists want a MASSIVE, All-powerful government that controls every aspect of your life is for malevolent/nefarious purposes -- to dominate and control the masses, and exploit them financially and steal/confiscate their wealth and effectively enslave them, and prevent them from being able to escape their slavery.

The Founding Fathers wanted a very small government of LIMITED powers. Not some monstrosity of a government that almost has UNLIMITED powers to do whatever it wants. We need to re-structure our government, so that it is limited even further, and has no power over vast areas of our lives -- such as no power to mandate how we educate our children, no power to mandate vaccines in children or adults, no power to require licenses for businesses, absolutely no power whatsoever to regulate or limit access to firearms in any way, no power to levy income taxes, no power to levy property taxes and deny people their right to own land and property, etc.
We need to abolish the Federal Reserve Bank system, Dept of Education, Dept of Health, ATF, FBI, the social security system, etc. The federal government should only exist to protect the border and govern the military, and maybe a few other things. State governments should handle most other functions of government, which should also be very limited, and mostly consist of maintaining a police force and courts in order to keep law and order and prosecute criminals.
