In private industry you might have 1, 2 managers for 30 people. There are some provincial public servants ( they are servants to you and me, make sure they know!) that are managers with nobody underneath them?
Every manager wants the biggest budget, they have to spend all that $$. There is no incentive to save $$. They are empire building. Wrong incentives for government. There is no incentive for speed, efficiency or innovation ( which is what industry is about).
I do not favor PST. The market can keep public expenditure a little honest. once a PST is ingrained in the province. We will never loose it.  |
So many excellent points made in this post.
The gov bureaucracy is an animal that gets rewarded for growing. It exists to milk the taxpayers.
TBD made an excellent reference to the feudal system...exactly what we are...serf's to the crown.
