Five reasons why the Government is rubbish
Discussion
I give you:
1) It’s keen to take the credit during the good years, citing good governance, but when it all goes horribly wrong we’re told “it’s due to the world economy” – it can’t have it both ways;
2) Its answer to obscene over-spending is to print more money – and even then it’s 15% short. If a normal company did that it would be bankrupt within months and the management would be banged up;
3) It thinks that chucking money at problems (particularly welfare) is the answer, but this makes things worse not better. Only government has the unique ability to chuck money at a problem and make the problem worse;
4) It’s still stuck in some 1970’s time-warp, whereby Government Department who don’t spend their budgets are penalised. In the real world, under-spend is good, but in Government under-spend is bad.
5) The Government will now be Taxing its populous like never before in history. When you factor in Income Tax, NI, Emp NI, Corp Tax, Rates, Business Rates, Dividend Tax, Tax on Pensions, VAT, IHT, Stamp Duty, Car Tax, CGT, Fuel Tax, etc..etc..etc.., it’s reasonable to assume that many people are paying well over 70% in Tax. Despite the above, public services are a disgrace so people have to pay for private healthcare, private pension and private education, etc..
So, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Government is very, very, very, very, very rubbish indeed. Thank you and good night!

Thats all??? I doubt we have time enough in this incarnation to list all the ways this government is rubbish.1) It’s keen to take the credit during the good years, citing good governance, but when it all goes horribly wrong we’re told “it’s due to the world economy” – it can’t have it both ways;

The biggest thing wrong is their desire to create yet more regulations/registers/certifications/databases/gumph complete with associated expensive bureaucracies, when what is needed is the deletion of most of the state and almost all of the associated expensive bureaucracies.
Less is more.
Less is more.
