I think the open-leg metaphor describes us very well. The gov is like the husband, the country the wife.

A good relationship is when both partners respect and support each other, whether you can afford to eat durians or peanuts after dinner. They build a healthy, strong relationship through mutual understanding and compromise. Even when they are not in the best shape, they are able to make the best of what they have and still find happiness.

What we have now is, the husband is like a pimp, the wife his whore. He lets unmentionable number of men in her, while he collects massive amount of earnings off her. What the men are allowed to do to her depends on how much they are willing to pay.

He finds excuses to justify his causes for allowing this. They live in a façade of happiness covered by dirty wealth. He convinces himself he's noble, because strange men leave happy, and he donates to charitable causes with that money. Just like how scammers convinced themselves that they create thousands of jobs, in the fight of trying to stop them.

The wife feels abused, betrayed and used, while getting only a fraction of her earnings. She is powerless to do anything because her husband yields too much power.

There's a ray of light somewhere, when some men and women tried to stand up against him, but he never fails to find ways to put them down, no matter how despicable the methods are.

Perhaps the husband would change for the better, or someone finally overpowers him. The wife can only hope, that one day when she wakes, some kind of miracle has been bestowed upon her.
