Government always needs MORE?

by Ben Cunningham

The post below about private contractors being so much more effective and efficient than efforts supervised by the government would, I believe, not surprise most citizens.

However, when government bureacrats make a decision about revenue they virtually always assume that government needs more money. How odd when you think about it. The article HERE, cited in several TN blogs today, is about the State Equalization Board recommending that business software be taxed. Apparently some counties are taxing business software and others are not. Sooooooo.....what is the normal logic? Let them all tax business software to be consistent. Why not let them all exempt business software to be consistent?

The underlying assumption is that government is 1- always starved for money and 2- Can use the money more efficiently than the private sector. How VERY odd.
