You think this thread is confusing? Consider Japan. Part of the reason that the govt's popularity is in the 10% range is that, with Japan's dangerously aging population, over the last 30 or 40 years the state-run pension savings scheme has managed to LOSE (or not even keep in the first place) millions of peoples records of how much they paid in. Millions of aging salarymen, who have been putting money in all these years, are suddenly finding the system has no record of their deposits!
Any other country/culture, and they would ahve burned the government buildings by now.
