To go one step further, never trust the government.
Wait a sec...I've turned into Pippy! Argh!
*runs*
What I should have said was "never trust the government to do a good job". Private enterprise picks up where government fails. Governments do not create jobs, they limit them. Corporations are the only provably reliable creators of jobs.
I don't know what it's like in Australia, but here in the UK business is heavily regulated, which means people with ideas have absolutely no encouragement to start a business of their own, and if they don't have the funds to do so then their idea will just end up at a dead end. The current Labour government have increased regulation on business, meaning there is less money to pay employees, meaning businesses can hire less people. They also opened the flood gates to immigrants, even when we don't have enough jobs for the naturalised citizens.
But that's socialist thinking for you...
