They are limiting us with what? with the opportunities and whatever help they can do for us? You're right that the opportunities are there but they're all limited and they're even more if the government really care for its citizens. Somehow, they're doing their job but the majority of us are dissatisfied with how they manage it and I guess for every country, there would always be a complain about its own government.
We need to be more wise and be careful how we spend. In my country, money stolen by the government representatives are used to build big shopping malls, recreational activities, 5 star hotels. Instead of infrastructure facilities, schools, hospitals, or manifesting industries to create more employment opportunities. The funny part of the story, the poor masses are still the ones that patronizes their business in the end. Giving the money back to them. It goes on and on like a repeated cycle.
