| Mr Puggsly said: Essentially there is an attitude on the left if something isn't quite right then it needs more money. I genuinely feel more people would be open to giving the government more control if it just wasn't so bad at virtually everything it touches. I often ask left wingers name something they genuinely feel the government does well, they don't have answers but still have faith in the government for some reason. |
Isn't that kind of a false dichotomy, though - that because the government doesn't do something well, that automatically means the private sector will do a better job of it? Because I can point to plenty of instances of, just to name one example, governments selling off unprofitable railway lines to private companies, only for said companies to do an even worse job of running them, forcing the government to take the line(s) back into public ownership.
