I have no incentive to provide training to my son, no desire to train him in athletics or Rhetoric or music so that he could make me proud. Such a unity is not conducive to harmony. State enterprises are feeding troughs for special interests because they are communal property, not private property. Those who benefit do not internalize the costs associated with the benefits of nepotism, sinecurism and corruption. The risk-return profiles providing incentives for state enterprise workers are similar to those faced by squatters.
Privatisation increases accountability, individual responsibility and productivity.
Squatting must not be promoted. In Tobago I hear politicians mobilizing the fear of people with the reality of high land prices. They tell Tobagonians the rising price of land is a bad thing. They even suggest that the THA must own all the land, which it will then give to preferred individuals. They spread the fear that Tobagonians will be homeless in Tobago.
