Nothing more or less (give or take—heh) than I—or more accurately, the majority of I's—tell them to. I live in Massachusetts, though, so my local government has basically been giving me the shaft (and not in a good way).
My federal government continues to do plenty for me: human rights unrivaled anywhere; continued opposition to totalitarianism, both secular and religious (Cuba, Iran, Nork, various jihadi nutcase groups); virtually limitless employment opportunities, including many that I enjoy (and which enable me to freely contribute to worthy charities worldwide); freedom to say pretty much whatever the hell I want; right to bear arms; security; etc &c.
Living in the nation that leads the way in Western liberal democracy/capitalism is a gift I appreciate daily.
