I will pay for these social programs, IF the government give us tax transparency. I don't trust my government nearly enough for them to not do some sort of corruption. Gotta know where the money went.

The concepts work a lot better if people are active participants in the governance of their communities instead of the government being some separate entity that dictates rules from on high.

Government cannot be for the people unless it is made of the people, and that is the largest flaw of our current system. Our government is not made of the people, it is made of the ruling class which only seeks to exploit people for power.
