I don’t think government employees are any more corrupt than private ones. True, there are some who are bad, but most are generally decent people who want to do a good job.
The problem is the system itself. No organization as big and powerful as government can possibly be operated efficiently. It’s just not possible.
That’s why it’s vitally important for conservatives to try and reduce government. It’s the fundamental flaw of compassionate conservatives in my opinion. They have noble goals but they are relying on government to get them done. That’s a fool’s errand for sure.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to make government efficient. It might be made more efficient, but it will never be as good as the private sector. Why idiots want to give up more freedoms to the behemoth is beyond me, but there are no shortage of lib Democrats. Amazing, isn’t it?
Stealing is as wrong in the public sector as it is in the private sector.
