> Don't you think it's exactly the high taxes that give space for corruption and incompetence? No. We know what causes corruption - lack of oversight. Its why you see very little of it in the federal government, but that same oversight is also why federal projects are expensive. Everything must be documented and accounted for. As far as incompetence in government, that's easy... smart people can't stand being constrained by rules designed by people that aren't as smart as they are, especially if those rules reduce productivity and stifle creative solutions.
