The government is us; we are the government, you and I.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that in a functioning democratic society, the government is not a separate entity but rather a representation of the people it governs. It implies that citizens collectively hold the power and responsibility to shape the decisions and actions of the government. By recognizing that we are the government, it encourages active participation, engagement, and promotes the idea that government actions should be aligned with the will and interests of the people.
