It looks Obvious: Short Note on Efficiency

  • Eric · 3 years ago
    Rogel, I would argue that the inefficiency of government is, in and of itself, immoral. Especially when combined with use of coercion and violence. Taking my wealth at gunpoint (which is what taxation is, once all the pretty platitudes are stripped away) and using it to build an elephantine mouse, against my wishes, is horrific.

    I agree with you. My point is that sometimes we, or should I say I, rap in the argument of the inefficiency instead of being focused on the moral aspect.


    More to my point - even if the government with use the money efficiently it will be immoral. The fact that it was collected at gunpoint, regardless how efficiently it is being used, is the immoral action - and that is what we need to be focus at.
