because all governments are the same. democracies are incredibly bloated with government workers. the government simply raises the taxes because they can. it's a system that is more of a living creature. a capitalistic society that demands blood tribute in the form of tax. these systems that inhabit human cultures take on a life of their own and will inevitably seek to increase their own power. it's one of the benefits of kingdoms ruled by monarchs that they don't have the same level of waste and bloat. and if you have a problem the king can fix it without having some other regulatory body with equal authority. it is the essence of democratic systems that they will constantly seek to increase their power and thus they spread their belief system as well. this theory is quite old and is presented over 100 years ago in such books as "will to power" and other similar works. these systems attract the hungry and greedy sort of folk. if you want to be a small town police chief you won't go there. but if you want to be a big shot you will go there and seek that power. thus all people who reside in the city seek to increase the power of the city and hope to rise in its hierarchy. also they love to import new populations of immigrants to act as a new bottom class.
