The real problem is rather simple. I have never heard, read, or otherwise met a politician who would walk away from a revenue stream…..
These political animals are of the belief that the government (any form of government) DESERVE our money so they can spend it the way THEY WANT TO. That THEY know what is BEST for us. Tell me I am wrong……
There is no altruism in government. No noble ideas. No noble intentions. Only taxing and control. As soon as you understand and accept all of this you will begin to see the self serving nature of anyone in governance and that when on a rare occasion a true servant appears by being elected they are driven from whatever statehouse or government entity they were elected to post haste.
