Please Stop this ''welfare'' State...
by imran patel on Feb 29, 2008 07:08 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Unless we Indians understand the concept of smaller government, I find it difficult to be optimistic about a change in our daily lives.

Think about it,
- The government is the biggest employer in the country
- The government does NOT make any money, it collects money and then spends it in an un-wisely fashion (I am saying that in a very polite way)

We are still living in this seudo-communist state, where we think government is the solution to all problems. When infact, government is the root of all problems.

I will not blame any government here. It is the nature of the Beast. It is not the right institute to solve our nations problems.

Government will always pander to get votes, because it is a political outfit. We need less government and more private firms.

Private firms run on profits, THE BOTTOM LINE. They have benchmarks
They are accountable
They have to make profits (Share Holder investment)
They are LESS prone to corruption
They have leadership that is not pandering to any voting block
They encourage competition, eventually to the benefit of the consumer
They do NOT have reservations
They reward hard work
They FIRE lazy people

Agree, private firms cannot do everything. The nations defense, Tax collection, Judiciary and some other functions need to be with the government. Nothing more than that.

A bigger government is a recipie for discrimination, exploitation, corruption and FAILURE.

I fully agree with you on each and every sentence / observation.

We needed highly educated politician with a committment to nation.

But that will not happen in another another 100 years.

Next best option is presidential form of governemnt. ( This reginal politics is killing us all)
