The government has a 1001 ways that they take your money. But, apparently, that is OK. However, if a private corporation does it, the government steps in and tells them to be more upfront about it or to charge a flat fee.
Nice.
What about having a flat tax rate - 30%. Everyone knows how much government is costing them. Everyone knows how much of their gross income goes to the government. Wouldn't that be the equivalent.
This reminds me of the competition bureau. The government runs monopolies all throughout the economy and then forces companies to break up their monopolies because the government 'claims' that competition is better for the consumer. Anyone see the paradox?
