They never understand that "government" jobs, at any level, are wealth-absorption jobs.

Jobs in the productive, private sector are wealth-creation jobs.

That is why the private sector should not let politicians co-opt their wealth-creation role in the society by accepting tax dollars as so-called "incentives." Once they do, they become participants in the rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul scam which serves to shrink the economy and increase the coercive power and wealth of unscrupulous politicians in government.

Is it not telling that Adam Smith was a "moral philosopher" whose publication of "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" coincided with America's Declaration of Independence and became the basis of the greatest explosion of personal liberty, opportunity, innovation, and goods and services ever known to man?
