Government is held accountable for incompetence all the time. People still talk about Bush and the financial crisis he 'caused' (Clinton was more responsible; Bush was just the chimp who stood by and watched). People won't re-elect people they don't like. Yeah, the system is flawed, but it's not completely beyond repair.
Much of this ranting is just you getting mad about basic functions of government. Yes, they have a monopoly on being a government. Yes, we pay taxes. That's how it works. Grow the **** up. Taxation isn't theft. We, as a society, elect leaders who will decide how to tax us and what to spend that money on. Instead of just ranting to no one, express your anger in the next election.
And yes, the government does lie, which is the one area they aren't held accountable enough. But what are we to do when we, the reasonable, actually have to spend time explaining to people like you that you do in fact have to pay taxes. Of course we're not going to solve our problems when we waste time on something like that. You can argue that certain taxes are unjust or that they're spent improperly, but paying a tax is not you getting robbed.
