| Mr Khan said: Lawyering and politics are work, as much as people like to deride them, and certainly as much as shifting money around for a living seems to amount to "work," which is why i ignored your attempt at private-sector elitism and cut right to the other part of your point, that government is bad and less is more, offering an appropriate counterexample. |
No, the point is that while some government is necessary, it's nice if the people running the show have some sense of conscience about spending other people's money instead of blowing it like drunken sailors and demonizing people for not wanting to cough up more. But then when you have someone in charge like Obama, who has never created one penny's worth of wealth in his entire pampered life, it isn't surprising that he feels that way.
No less a leftist than George McGovern came to appreciate how much government cocks up things when he tried to run his stupid little bed and breakfast. He even remarked that he wished he had known that when he was in government, which kind of makes the point that people should actually do things before they try to tell other people how to do things, not to mention what things they can and cannot do.
