too much government?

the other day, I was thinking. How if the federal government seems to be removing worker protections. Yet they can’t remove all the state protections that states have. So because we have a state government and federal governments, it’s a good thing, right? Ok, so then we need, do we need local government?Do we need a city government body? In the united states, the fact is we have a lot of government.And i’m not sure it’s all necessary.

there are inefficiencies that come about when there are too many cooks in the kitchen.When there are too many liters and when there are just too many things happening in one place. This is why small business often innovates faster than large business.

what other problems do multiple governments have? One thing I see is that when you have multiple governments, you have a state government. You have local city government. Is that the state government will maybe make a law? Either limiting or empowering what the cities can do, and then the cities will go ahead.And do something and the state just kind of says, well, all they have to do is point the finger and say that wasn’t our problem! The state government will just say, you know, you should have.You should have worked with your local city.To prevent that from happening.

here’s an example. Quoted from Carl Demaio, his newsletter:

Rod — ‍‍Reform California Chairman and State Assemblymember Carl DeMaio this week blasted Gov. Gavin Newsom for signing legislation that allows local politicians in Los Angeles and Contra Costa counties to push sales tax rates to 11.25%.

The new law removes existing taxpayer protections and gives local governments another way to raise costs on working families and small businesses already struggling under California’s cost-of-living crisis. DeMaio is urging voters to fight back by passing Prop 43 in November to restore the two-thirds vote requirement for local special tax increases. Read our top news story for the full breakdown.

it’s just government finger pointing. People couldn’t control the sales tax at the local level.So they asked the government at the state level to do it. The state level increases the amount of sales tax.And so now the cities can increase the amount of sales tax.

what do you think do you think we need more government layers ? There are places there are cities.There are countries that work just as well as us.And they have less government. I see. The Canadians are complaining about how they’re government is mushrooming in size and ends up costing the entire country a good percentage, just to pay all the government employees.
