It's crazy suggesting that the private sector should pay higher taxes so that the public sector keeps people employed, or that welfare be higher purely to give its recipients more money to spend.
The more money that's left in people's pockets the more disposable income they have to spend as they see fit, the more of that they have the better off those producing things people want to buy will be, and they in turn create jobs.
There are of course a ton of issues at the moment, largely due to corporatism, but the public sector is massively oversized right now, it was swelled dramatically over the past decade and could do with a trim as there was quite literally not the infrastructure or resource to efficiently assimilate the influx of money and people.

There should be a balance for sure but the public sector jobs there because private sector dumped a load of jobs. Yes there should be essensial service but at what costs. Thats why its needed balance.
Not saying welfare payments increase drastically to claiments but merely pointing out we all contribute whether we work, ill, elderly or unemployed. They pay taxes not direct but inderect.
I agree Corporitsm is biggest obstacle set new thread about book coming out about RACE AGAINST the MACHINE comes out monday done by 2 MIT researchers. It worryingly what they say.
Not saying it was right to create the quango culture be it came about as many taxpayers moaned or merely papers championed a cause. That peple should work do something useful rather be on dole. Government struggling to get private sector come up with jobs so the quango culture came about. Government embarked on inflating public sector workforce job creation to get people work rather then let them sit around. Afterall people wanted it.
Now poeple moan it cant support it I agree the balance maybe wrong
However there many calling people who not working too now we have situation they dont want them on dole either what is government supposed to do if private sector wont employ in the quantities required.
