Big Government is a Big Business

Government is a business and, as every business, it must compete for customers! This is one of the best arguments against World Government and, in fact, large entities which consist of states, like the EU, USA, or USSR. As Daniel Hannan explains here Alistair Darling's plan for 60% of UK's debt to be paid of by the richest 5% of the population is ludicrous. People are simply going to move. For one, because they don't want to pay the taxes in the first place, and for two, because they know these "emergency" taxes will NEVER go back down to previous levels. It was Milton Friedman (a STATIST!) who told us that "There is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program." If I was rich, I would be worried. But, since I'm not rich, I worried even more! All these government schemes eventually end up hurting the little guy. And, as Mr.Hannan mentions, it will be the average citizen who will pay off most of the government's so-called "public debt". Unless of course the government simply goes bankrupt or defaults on its loans. David Cameron may not be a truly hardcore conservative, but by God Almighty, I hope he wins the next election by a big margin!

My Message to Mr.Cameron: Please, please bring back that real consevative Thatcherist spirit!
