I am no defender of 'Merica or governments in general, but your interpretation of that movie is nothing but idiotic counterfactual nonsense. If you want to write a soliloquy on the evils of America, feel free, but try using fact rather than trying to force such an interpretation though the lens of a 20 year old film.
On the other hand, if you want to review the film, Jay Sherman already gave the definitive one: "It stinks!"

This is the curse of central banking. It provides the appearance of unlimited money with which politicians get to buy votes in ways they never before dreamed of. Central bankers, who always fund both sides of all wars, at the expense of the people. Without them, we would still be free. Without them, we could once again become free. Without them, governments can't grow to much more than 10% of GDP, versus the nearly 50% monster we have today.

So let me get this straight: Jeff Goldblum uses a Mac laptop to upload a virus into an ALIEN mothership's computer (using RS-232, I'm guessing) and never once do we see a dialog box about updating Adobe?
An artifact of its time. [imdb.com] Adobe hadn't written its updater yet. A normal computer had no dialog boxes requesting updates. Adobe didn't even own Flash back then. [adobe.com]
