In an IDEAL State, the government should stick to its Constitutionally Mandated powers. the 9th and 10th Amendements would actually be respected.
Money NOT collected as taxes are retained, generally, by the people, who also generally, best use them......
States will than ALL vary in the amount collected, industry IN the state and what we call 'programs'. Other opportunities would also vary, including HEALTH system and Education.
Washington's farewell address had an admonishment to stay the heck OUT of most foreigh affairs. How's THAT working out?
People would than TEND to vote with their feet, going to places which MOST agree with their personal thoughts about how much government they want, need or desire.....with availablilty of work or constructive employ being near the top of any list.
return on Investment? the Government? In ONE thought? What ever gave ANYBODY such a wacky idea? Please see the brief video linked.......Milton Friedman talking about 'the 4 ways to spend money'....
There are TWO major philosophies on this issue.
1. Governemnt generates surplus money to itself THAN pushes services DOWN to the populace
2. Populace in some fashion demands services from the government. The 'pull down' part of the theory.
The St. Louis Fed has a wonderful article with this as the subject......But YOU are gonna have to look it up for yourself....
Too much is never enough
