Keep voting in tax-and-spend politicians and the government/bureaucracy will continue to grow while services shrink.
I remember when George H.W. gave his "1000 points of light" speech. I was a young libtard and thought it was the most calloused thing a politician could say.
Fortunately I grew up and eventually realized what he meant: If you want to give $5 to the homeless, give it to a homeless organization. If you give it to the government under some tax meant to help the homeless, your $5 plus an additional $5 will be absorbed by the bureaucracy to administer a program that is so ineffective it will actually make the homeless worse off than they were before, AND the original $5 hasn't even made it to the homeless yet. So for every $5 tax slated for the homeless, we have to borrow an additional $10 from China on bad programs that make the problems worse.
Good charitable organizations don't suffer these types of governmental bureaucratic dysfunctions. You give $5 to help the homeless, most of it will help the homeless. Look at the shelters Carey helped find the screen doors for during the eruption while the politicians were trying to figure out where to put Natchville or devise some scheme to develop Shipman land in a district with 50,000 vacant lots.
Wake up, people.
