Well, I guess I was wrong. You don't know that you're beat.
You have to remember some basic economics: incentives work. When people have an incentive to do something, they do. When they don't have an incentive to do something, they generally don't.
But, government is not a for-profit business like private enterprise and they has a different mindset when dealing with public issues and common good.
Indeed. By allowing them to take their funding by force, they do not need to keep the populace happy (and thus, their money flowing). Most government employees don't even see re-election. So there's no incentive to make sure the people are well served. Their only obligation is to the government that employs them.
Now what I not saying is our system currently in America is operating like that, it is out of touch and operating on a few major false assumptions.
Because the incentives are screwed up.
