That is not true at all. There is no reason why a government can not run a profit. Sometimes it does it directly by leasing the people's property. When badly run by cons/neocons the make a quick buck by selling off the people's property. That is less good. Usually the government takes its profits in the form of taxes. The government provides infrastructure that causes the economy to prosper. A part of the profits the government enables are returned to the government as taxes. You folks should be smart enough to follow this. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
