Is that unique to the states or does that apply to other democratic / capitalist countries like the UK or perhaps France, Germany Australia for example?

My theory is the function of the state in other countries operates to serve the well being of its citizenry, as every member of That Nation is a relative to Its leaders.
This is not the case in The United States, Multiple Organizations, Interest Groups, Lobbyists, Institutions, & movements clash to wield The Appartus of The State.
In The Case of The United States there is no familial ties to those in charge thus The State has loyalty to The Well being of The Citizen, The Politician only seeks his own benefit.
We do not have democracy, liberalism or capitalism. These are just theories that never materialized.
There is no income tax in a democracy.
There is no gun control in a democracy.
You can't lock down the population in a democracy.
This is impossible in a democracy.
If there is an income tax, there is zero percent democracy, liberalism or capitalism.
This is because there are no slaves in a democracy. It's right there in the definition of democracy.
The United Kingdom is an 1100-year-old dictatorship. Now there is a Marxist state apparatus beneath the sovereign.
France was never a democracy. It was an autocracy for a long time, then it shifted to a plutocracy. Now there is a Marxist state apparatus beneath the plutocracy.
