Odd, I was of the impression that the laws and regulations were passed by the legislature (and delegated to the subsidiaries they created to manage processes), which consists of elected representatives of the people. Thus, making "the government" the people. Legitimated mob rule, with a healthy dose of input by those who have significant financial resources. From what I've seen, the people who are "messed over repeatedly" are those who don't fit well in a general society, those who can't function or choose to not function in a way mandated by the majority, or are too poor (or ignorant of the techniques needed) to be able to or to know how to successfully navigate the system.
All you appear to be suggesting is more legitimated mob rule without any safeguards at all. Sorry, not going to vote for that one, sir.
