Perhaps more accurately put: "The Government is the only thing that belongs to all of us."

[Carl Vehse]

Actually, We the People ARE the Government!!

No one else has the authority to "ordain and establish a Constitution for the United States of America."

We the Government can change the federal and state forms of government through constitutional amendments. Our elected and appointed representatives ("employees", as Clint noted) are simply part of our form of government. We the Government can change our representatives regularly (though not often enough!).
