Seriously? You actually think that working for the government does in no way contribute to society? Heck, it sounds like you do the only good, honest and decent job on this planet.
So, if I say that I worked as a nurse, for the city and the state, you say that it didn't matter, because only a nurse in the private sector would actually contribute to society? And if I say heavy taxation is alright, and I don't mind that a big chunk of my pay is taken every month, because I know that there are people out there who is in more need of the money and that I like that we have free universities and health care, you are going to point a finger in my face and yell "Socialist! Communist!"?
The organization you're talking about would be based upon greed, which ensues that the poor stay poor and that the rich can earn even more money. Now, I agree that I cannot approve of corrupt politicians, who try to get as much money as possible from the people, but won't do anything good for them in return, but the private sector you represent is driven by greed, the more money you can help the owner make, the better. All gain for society cannot be measured in money, you know.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
