I have a theory about people who "don't trust the govt."
that they are among the least likely to join the PTA.
That is, they are among the least likely to pitch in for the common good. |

I'm not a member of the PTA, but my wife has been and she decided that it was a waste of her time because, at the school in our area, the parents who demanded the most were least willing to do their part. Perhaps it's different in your area. For us, private school has been the best thing for our children's education. |

Do you have a theory on how many of those that pay the bulk of the money to make the government work actually trust the government. |

The wealthy and upper middle class also pay a disproportionate share of governmental expenses while not receiving a proportionate share of benefits. No the wealthy and upper middle class shoulder the burdens of the poor. |

It is certainly human nature to see what someone else has and think they got it unfairly and it is your right to take it from them. |

My main beef with socialism is the appearance that those who make such propositions are usually the ones not impacted by the solutions. So you have a bunch of social liberals earning 80 to 90 K, and they say here's a solution, tax those over 200K. How generous and how giving. IOW, none of the liberally minded social engineers are willing to bear the burden themselves but wish to foist it upon somebody else who didn't vote for that proposition. If the burden is to be shouldered, I'd wish those who make the proposal also carry the burden. |

What I am hearing is that some of you hate bureaucracies. Well, bureacracies are how big groups of people get things done.
Can't navigate the PTA? Heaven help you if you are a Bishop. Or a Stake President. You all haven't discovered one of the secrets of life: the bureacracy is your friend, to be put into ACTION as YOUR tool. You all just haven't figured out how to do it. |
