Yesterday, I posted about Cost of Government Day – the day when an average American has worked long enough to pay his share of federal, state, and local government spending and regulations.
It takes more than half a year.
This astonishing burden is worth remembering the next time a public official calls for a partnership between government and business.
It’s a senior partnership that government seeks and often successfully assumes.
Politicians may use words like partnership, investment, and cooperation, but the results are often regulation, spending, taxing, arrogant over reaching.
