Speaking of the Government, have you heard of the new word soon to be found in Webster's Dictionary....Ineptocracy?
Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government
where the least capable to lead are elected by the least
capable of producing; and, where the members of society
least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded
with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth
of a diminishing number of producers.
I used to be an elected official. It wasn't fun staring down the barrel of the gun of a President that didn't particularly like you. I pulled a few crazy stunts in my time like trying to impeach the Chief Justice that declared her legitimate. I also voted against the sale of Government owned Corporations that were profitable, actually killed some certified bills. That kind of stuff.
Now I am an entrepreneur again. The government makes more than twice what my company makes for our efforts. In return we get poor infrastructure and customs officials who do nothing but make it hard for us to make an honest buck even if I know the new President and Bureau Chief is clean. You guys got it good compared.
