>a judge who, more often than not, is no fool.
And who, like other government employees, is paid by taxes, including sales taxes. In any other area of life, including business ethics, that would be considered a conflict of interest.
- BillSaysThis 15y agoBut that would mean no judge or other government employee could make any decisions related to taxes (and probably other decisions affecting their pocketbooks or work environment) and as such be a ridiculous and impossible condition. Unless, billswift, you're a libertarian and just want to do away with all government, then your comment makes complete sense.
- billswift 15y agoActually, I just wish people would recognize the reality. The important thing is that people don't fool themselves about the need to protect themselves and to be watchful of government power. Most people chant "separation of powers" like a mantra without realizing how much more the "separate powers" have in common.
