Is it impossible for government today to do anything without wasting and even misappropriating vast amounts of the taxpayers’ hard-earned money? The result is government itself is the major reason for our increasing cost of living. Add to that the fact that too many things are being done which, either by law or custom, are beyond the proper remit of the particular government, from undermining the national day or the flag, the use of gas in kitchens, or replacing a cheap and reliable electricity grid with one which is expensive and unreliable.
