We hear the arguments every day. More 'resources' (meaning money) for health, education, social welfare etc. Got me thinking - is there any limit to what governments, or other bodies, need in terms of resources(money)?
I think that you could take every cent in the world and give it to government, or government bodies, or social welfare - and the complaints of lack of resources or unfairness would continue. They will never have enough money, and that is why there should be a limit (percentage, not absolute) to the amount of tax any person should pay purely because the apetite of government and the spending sections of society can never be met.
A fundamental question everyone should ask is: Do I trust this government with my money?
If the answer is no, then we should refuse to give further resources until we can trust them with our money. Because the alternative is that they will spend and spend until none of us have anything left.
