The government doesn’t do any business, which is a downfall as they have no leverage and must rely on businesses for their revenue. The government relies so much on tax revenue from big corporations that the elite get special privilege and big tax breaks. This in return upsets the balance, denying the average people while enriching the elite few. As the government enriches one person so that ten thousand may suffer, then the hearts of the people will shatter and the country will disperse.
As the government rely more on big corporations for revenue to support their public programs, things will become more chaotic as businesses fail from their planning and research. With the financial crisis that the economy is going through, this is only one of the many downfalls. With outsourcing, favoring the rich with big tax breaks, and eliminating jobs so that the stock may rise is a recipe for disaster.
In order to spread risk around to keep the government afloat, the government can be doing businesses outside of their country. This prevents direct competition from businesses that operate in their home country and can allocate resources from outside to within. Increasing revenue without competing with fellow citizens helps allocate even more resources to the home country.
The implementation of government businesses (selling technology, creating machines to sell or even purchasing favorable properties) on foreign countries can help profit the government. They can then use this new revenue source to enforce public work to enrich their home country. Also, no longer will the government give millions to billions (out of taxpayer’s money) for big businesses to research something they can profit for themselves. The government can use its own money to research new technology that can be implemented for a new government business.
War has been a big part of enriching and expanding one own’s country so war might be favored by some. However, it can also bankrupt the country as equipment, food, salary and travel expense dry up the country’s treasury. As war prolongs, so does the suffering of the home country as heavy taxes are implemented to offset the cost. With a protracted war and a financial crisis at hand, they must be eliminated first before the country can move forward. Lifting the war will stop the war cost, and implementing government business to operate in foreign country will help increase revenue and leverage (and a good operated government business will serve as a good role model) so that big corporations will not jeopardize the entire economy.
