The idea the governments spend money productively is mind bending and against everything I see every day in the United States. Go figure, maybe it’s different in Europe, but I can’t imagine that people who can’t make it in the private sector—and that’s really all government is, people who otherwise can’t make it in a competitive market environment—would somehow be efficient and productive in the public sector.

Personally I’d rather the rich hoard wealth than pay taxes and thereby justify the idea that planned command economies lead to anything good.
