here we go again, does california have anything to do w/ China?
the main job of US government Is to collect tax and provide service. it should, by definition, have minimum exposure and interference to operation of private organizations, thus itself has no means to generate any income or profit. The smaller the governmental body, the better for the US tax payers. China is different, government itself represents the country, it has SOE (State Owned Enterprises) which are playing monopoly role and generating tremendous amount of profit for the government, it also leads in private economy development, many development zone in China are purely structured and led by the government. Two country have totally different systems thus there is no comparison. If you don’t like what China is, then I’m glad trash talker like you have gotten out. Enjoy your stay in this country and stop comparing apple to oranges.
And the problem with California is purely political corruption. State budget are put based on perpetual economy expansion and housing price increase. When thing don’t get better, they need to cut rather than spend more and increase taxes. State correctional union and teacher union are still expecting salary increases promised by Gray Davis even in today’s economy situation. Many deadbeats on the street are expecting more help from the government, this is more communism than any communist country in the world. Expansion of government in a so-called capitalist country like the US which the government doesn’t generate any income except spending spending spending is not good for tax payers at all.
