“The problem is that as the government sector expands in a society, it creates the illusion that the parasitic sector, owing to its enormous size and reach, must be kept intact and even expanded to maintain economic prosperity. But that’s the worse thing a society can do because it will only move society further in the wrong direction–in the direction of impoverishment and bankruptcy. The best thing people can do is permanently lay off all those parasitic workers (and bring an end to their welfare-warfare functions), thereby restoring the right of people in the private sector to keep their wealth and thereby raising everyone’s standard of living in that society.”
