We’ve reached a new era in government. Our system is a dinosaur. Government in the days of John A and George Washington was established to protect and run the country. Those were days of people farming and working long days to provide for their families. There was no time for upper education nor to run or protect a country. The upper, more educated people with time on their hands were chosen or elected “by the people” to protect and run the country “for the people.” These politicians as they were labeled provided and led the military, economy, education, health care, and infrastructure. They were more knowledgeable than the average citizen and had the time to implement. Today the opposite is true.
Most people that go into politics are people who can’t make it in the real world. Justin Trudeau being the prime example. The man was a semi teacher of drama or pottery in a community college with rumours of coaching the frisbee team. Yet he was put in charge of the biggest corporation in the land, our country. Today the average person is more knowledgeable than our politicians. Many university graduates could run the country better than Justin.
Unlike corporate business, a country has a bottomless barrel of revenue called taxes. If you run out of revenue you simply tax more. Most politicians if put in charge of a business would go bankrupt.
That latest increase in revenue was implemented with an increase in the capital gains tax and carbon tax due to over use of available taxes collected. Politicians are given salaries, free accommodation, free transportation, free meals and a variety of extra perks. They have no fear of inflation. Everything is free. They have no concept of the real world. They spend like uneducated clowns.
It makes you wonder how much more efficient the country could run with a business personnel like Trump or Elon Musk in charge. Our government system needs a makeover.
