Government in general a profitable venture for those in government. You have to produce nothing, please no one and you get to decide how much money is your fair share of what others have worked hard to earn.
- analognoise 10y agoSo did you make the roads you drove on to work? Impressive. How about the fire, police, schools, environmental protections, consumer protections, and court system? How big is the military defending your patch of land? I admit there are problems, but I'm always amazed when people say the government doesn't do anything, then take a car to work on public roads, listen to the radio (FCC), eat food (FDA), etc.
- joering2 10y agobut whats your point?? he did make those roads... he paid taxes in gas, insurance, purchase of a car tax, license plate tax... all that do indeed sponsor roads he drives on! as of military defending his patch of land, hard to argue. Africa is much bigger than USA -- how much they spent as a continent on defense? Bet 1000th of what US does. Other than that, he might choose to protect his own land with the second Amendment and keep military out of it, no?
- CaptSpify 10y agoSure he sponsored the roads, but the government implemented those roads. Planning, buying, organizing, maintaining, etc are all part of the work that the government does.
- joering2 10y agoI still don't get it. Who do you think paid for planning, buying, organizing and the cost of maintaining of all that??
- analognoise 10y agoAll those things (planning, buying, organizing) are...work. I was saying the government does lots of work. It doesn't always function great, but it does a lot right too.
- EpicEng 10y agoNo he didn't. If we abolished taxes tomorrow everything would fall apart.
