>we want, or rather demand government to be that way
This is something so many people miss. So much of the endless red tape is a direct result of public concern over wasting taxpayer dollars. The irony of the situation is the government would be able to save a lot of money if taxpayers stopped caring about where their money was going.
- avinium 8y agoI often wonder whether we'd be better off if we "tolerated" a small amount of corruption. What's the point in spending $1 million on red tape and auditors to prevent $10,000 in fraud? Just like the war on drugs, you're fighting a moral crusade against the basest part of human nature. You're always going to lose - better to just accept it and do what's needed to minimize net loss.
