I agree with you, but it is obviously intentional. The government is run by politicians and these politicians have been personally enriched by campaign donations (aka legalized bribery) from the corporations that profit off welfare as a cottage industry. The government gives these corporations hundreds of billions of dollars a year to provide goods and services to the non-working freeloader types.
The freeloaders happily and gratuitously suck up as many goods and services as possible because someone else is paying the bill. A working person would try to spend as little as possible because they are paying for it. This is why non-working freeloaders make the very best customers in the eyes of the greedy corporations too.
Absolutely correct. Anytime those in government are involved in pursuing what should rightly be the role of society and NOT government, they are placed in the middle to enrich themselves or secure a future for themselves when they are no longer in government.
I have to laugh when I hear politicians say that this or that industry or bank is "too big to fail", just before they throw OUR money at it. If Egypt could fail, if Rome could fail, if the Soviet Union could fail, any industry could fail and the sun would still rise the next day.
Government necessarily creates two classes of people, tax payers and tax consumers. When the former gets the picture and stops producing, the latter will cry foul and blame their loss of entitlements on the government. The government will then blame the "evil" business owners or capitalists for the breakdown. And the game goes on and on...
