Re: Is Bigger Government Better

The true myth is that government really gives a shit. It doesn't for the most part.

The government is just another business. A business which wishes to grow and prosper. A business whose employees are, for the most part, interestedd in their own little lives and, while not averse to actually do their jobs, see the securing of their jobs much more important than actually accomplishing anything.

A business whose board of directors (elected officials) for the most part don't have a cllue what they really want to accomplish beyond staying in power or increasing their own power.

In other words, about the same as every other business. The difference is that governments have many advantages in power over a company.

They have a monopoly.

They can control or eliminate any competition in any field they decide to dominate.

They can print their own money.

They can throw people in jail who don't play by the rules they set, though, frequently, those rules do not apply to them.

They can take your money or your property under a variety of pretexts which are unavailable to other businesses.

If so inclined, they can kill you or send you out to kill others to clear the way for their business aims.

It is not a level playing field. It is their playing field. Always has been, always will be.

Or, perhaps, as a life-long public employee, I should say it is OUR playing field and always will be.
