It has been estimated that each dollar taken from taxpayers, and sent to Washington, is then returned to the beneficiary at a loss of about 70 cents. That is in the form of salaries, rent and other expenses.
If this is the case, why can those who believe in strong central government make any case that Uncle Sam can do a better job with a tax dollar than an individual who earned that dollar could do, on his or her own initiative?
Individuals cannot easily defend or police themselves. But there are many functions the government in Washington has taken over, or wants taken over, that would be better accomplished privately, or locally. Or nearer to home by the state.
Like health care, as just one example?
