- viggity 16y agoThere are four ways to spend money 1. You can spend your money on yourself 2. You can spend your money on someone else 3. You can spend someone else's money on yourself 4. You can spend someone else's money on yet another person As you go down the list, people get more and more careless with how that money is spent. Yet you suggest that #4 is superior to #2 (bureaucrat spending money on a third party, instead of the rich spending their own money on a third party). And that make zero sense.
