But more importantly because at the root of all the bitching about taxes the people have no desire to end their parasitic relationship with the government. But as he stated at the Fraser Institute's recent annual meeting, it is very difficult, once the fiscal crisis is over, to get people's attention on the need for fiscal probity. The bitching about taxes rings hollow. People want governments to spend money. There is no better example than the fact that we actively encourage, nay demand, that governments spend more money than they raise in taxes.
Governments borrow money to fulfill the demand for it.
Simple as that. And yet all the complicity in the relationship between the government and the people does not make the relationship right. Rather it proves without doubt how wrong it is. No more evidence is required to prove that the people, in laziness and apathy, have nullified their own responsibility, imagination, and freedoms.
