I don’t mean to sound harsh but you’re not making any sense to me. I’m sure it’s on my end but would you mind explaining what you meant by government = destroyed growth as if I were in the fifth grade?
Since the 70’s- 80’s I’ve seen incomes plummet for most people, while government spending skyrocketed.
Since government can only get money from private wealth they are a competitor with workers for money.
And, simply put, they are winning- we are losing.
Naturally the rate of growth of the economy has fallen concomittently with our incomes.
(Of course gov debt, regulation and other factors- like out-sourcing in the 90’s- apply)
This point of view obviously is very foreign to you.
I don’t understand your point of view either frankly.
I assume you don’t fantasize that taxes come from a different source than do wages and investment, but that somehow government spending the money is better than it going to investment and wages???
