I maintain that public servants must be held to a higher standard regarding income and expenses, as public funds (forced taxation) must show a net public benefit. Unlike the private sector, where one has a distinct option to unload shares in a company that is being mismanaged and invest elsewhere; this is not often the case with government. Your article comes on the heels of news recently released that Canadians pay more on taxes than any other expense (food, housing etc.) Thus, when one hears about the financial inefficiency that often takes place within government spending, it should elicit a strong response from the electorate.<br /><br />I have come to understand that humans are utility maximizers. This principle can be applied to the entire political spectrum. Whether one works for a union, industry, government or charity, humans will invariably feel entitled to more while expecting to do less work.
