Why should the state be publicly owned?

Why shouldn't we treat goverment as we treat other companies that offer services?

...

The state owns the public.

Because the government does not offer services.

Because the state is a coercive monopoly.

True but they serve the people.

The true question is why don't we tip the government then?

>Why shouldn't we treat goverment as we treat other companies that offer services?
We do.

Elections are what we call a Shareholder Meeting in common parlance.

>>The true question is why don't we tip the government then?
You can if you want. They're not going to turn down your money.

Who builds roads my friend? Who pays firemen and police? What of the infrastructure of the united states, and the entire system of Law?

Don't be a silly man!

Those services are not offered, senpai.

They are mandatory.

...because government has no competitior (usually)

shity public school? pay for private
shitty us mail? pay for UPS
shity road? take city buss?
don't like Cops? tough luck

don't pay taxes, they'll tap your bank account directly

>...because government has no competitior (usually)
No, it's because the government has power.

If McDonald's could force you to eat only at McDonald's they would.

The government can force you to use its services, and it does.

The government is not treated like a company because it is not a company. It is a government.

for profit company/ the goverment. nah i don't like it.

We do, it's called corruption.

they give back less than they tax you.
I'd call that profit.

>they spend the surplus overseas, charity of their choice (abortions?). handouts to supporters, multimillion dollar armaments

>Why should we treat a organization that theoretically represents the public's interests as we treat another that theoretically doesn't represent the public's interests

That subtle treason tho.

>Elections are what we call a Shareholder Meeting in common parlance.
You cannot sell your "shares" under democracy.

>theoretically represents the public's interests as we treat another that theoretically doesn't represent the public's interests
A) Companies can be for no profit
B)Private compaies offer products that represent the public's interests like food or clothes

I sold my California shares

didn't like the laws/policy and taxes.

>vote with you legs, loving Alaska

>A) Companies can be for no profit
Yea and Communism doesn't need government too. But Reality has proved to be a terrible mistress
>B)Private compaies offer products that represent the public's interests like food or clothes
That ultimately a means to serve its own interest:profit.

See here.

DO you know what NGO's are right?
>That ultimately a means to serve its own interest:profit.
Doesnt matter if they do it for profit,as long as the service is delivered

Has nothing to do with it really.

And when making more profits trump providing good services, they will choose the former. Always
