I have many friends who think government is the problem, but without its foundational support, it would only be a matter of time before chaos, booms and busts, would ensue.

We like to complain about big government, but it’s a necessary evil. If you’re a corporation, getting tax deals, cheap land leases, infrastructure, tax code benefits , to SS benefits and medicare to public education to unemployment benefits to subsidized housing to paying all the public service employees.

Never mind all the roads, bridges and highways that allow for such commerce. Take any of those privileges away and see what happens.

Who just ushered us through a pandemic … warp speed program, financial backstop, government checks put right into your account … in-fighting and all and what a stock market.

In the cities and suburbs …. We want to blame the poor and under-privileged for creating their issues, however whether circumstance, genetics or their personal environments, it usually is the institutions that they have to work in or survive in that makes getting ahead quite difficult. Population density just amplifies it.

In a rural areas we want to blame the poor and under-privileged for creating their issues,. They have most of the same institutionalized issues of quality work and food deserts and quality education. But they’re being poor and scraping by is looked at as being heroic and independent

It’s the lens we see through.

If you think it’s you and your taxes that pay the bills, look at the deficit, you’re just paying the interest. Blame the lobbyists, then the tax code, then corporations, then small business, then term limits … then look in the mirror and see what you can do or not do.

Feel bad for all salary and hourly .. they pay the taxes up front.

Then study maco-demographics and technology.
