Government is a bottomless pit for spending your tax money inefficiently.

A previous UK Prime Minister famously said "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money" - Margaret Thatcher.

My wife tells me sanitary pads are 8 cents each in Walmart $3.82 for 4 dozen. Im sure its same over in Scotland.
Its more a case of people have had their self reliance, resilience and self respect stolen from them by issuance of never ending welfare so that government has more control over individuals to the point some folk need their own asses wiping for them now.

What really bugs me about the whole tawdry affair is the playing down of the fact that it's the taxpayers' money.

Last year when the Ontario government was pushing covid vaccinations they ran commercials saying the shots were paid for by the government of Ontario.

WTF? Do you think the politicians and civil servants go into their personal bank accounts to pay for this? Not a chance.

The money comes from the middle/working classes. The rich have ways to avoid taxes and the poor simply take. It's the rest of us who pay.
