I guess you don’t understand it in this context.
I guess you don’t understand the situation inherent inefficiency of government in any context.

Was the interstate highway system built by fascists?
It was built on a lie, that is was federal because of defense, when the fact is, the enemy can use the same interstates if we were ever invaded.
Would we be better off without it?
is an interstate highway a business?
That has nothing to do with it.
except what you’re talking about isn’t building a highway, its subsidizing a business. apples/oranges. there are only a couple subsidies i have ever been in favor of, and those only because they serve a vital national interest.
family farms and small drilling operations. and the drilling ops only for under performing wells that otherwise would be capped. if there are other necessary subsidies for things that really support a vital national interest, i’m not aware of them.
NJBob:Pretty much like most other people in Norway, without ostentatious displays of wealth.
And no one is taxed half to death.
Yes, taxes are insanely high there, but, I’m sure not to you…Pfffffffffffffffffffffffft!
To those who would pay little to no taxes of course they wouldn’t be insanely high.
A good many of the left want a socialist welfare state system like Norway in the hopes of transferring more money from the pockets of others to their own.
Building a highway is an example.
Government contracts to private industry to build infrastructure or repair existing infrastructure creates jobs.

Not to YOU.
The corporate tax rate in America is 21% the corporate tax rate in Norway is 22%.
the average income tax rates are similar as well.the issue isn’t tax rates, the issue is the philosophy of spending.
That’s not all their taxes. Sigh…
The average income rate in America is 22%
the average income rate in Norway is 27%the issue isn’t tax rates the issue is with what America view is important to spend their money on.
Leaving out vat.
Exactly. 1st thing i noticed. The VAT is about as high as their income tax. Plus a multitude of other taxes.
You do realize we have sales tax here too, right?
