There are plenty of people out there who think that a problem is solved by creating more rules and regulations. There are millions of people who worship at the altar of government.
Somehow, because we occasionally choose between censored candidates on the basis of censored information, we supposedly give our assent to all sorts of rules that tie up our day to day business.
But whichever government is 'elected', it means more government, more regulations, more bureaucracy, more control, more corruption.
By nature Bureaucracy is dishonest.
A bureaucrat works in a pyramid structured hierarchy.
The definition of success within a hierarchy is to get as near to the top as possible. In order to be successful you have to get lots of smiley faces from those above you on the ladder. Sometimes while licking the arse of the person above you, you have to shit on the person below.
The last person you need to please is the customer. If there is nothing to gain and no boxes to be ticked, the work is not done.
By nature a bureaucrat is self-serving. She can be no other. She must fight for her gang, whosoever they may destroy in the process.
There is no honesty in a bureaucrat. Their only creed is what they can get away with.
Where there were few bureaucrats, as in times long gone by, the intrinsic dishonesty may have been tempered by an ethos of public service. But where there are packs of time servers prowling together like hungry dogs, carving out their empires to justify their existence, any pride in service simply collapses.
There is a saying, 'exchange is no robbery.'
The bureaucrat does not exchange.
