Your Efficient Government

Guess how much our super-efficient government spends to make a penny worth one cent? Naturally, 1.7 cents. Way to go.

This is precisely the reason I don't ever want to hear about 'needing' to raise taxes again. If someone could actually streamline the government to run as tightly and cleanly as a private business, we could probably drop our tax rates to less than 10% without shutting down any program currently in existence and still have enough left over to buy several African countries. Until it's been proven that all unnecessary costs have been driven out of wasteful government spending, tax increases should never, ever, ever happen.

There's my two cents.
