The function of government is to serve the people [View all]
Government is not, and never has been a "business". Treating the levers of power like a commercial enterprise simply invites corruption and favoritism into the process. I ask you, what is the product of government and what would be the return on investment? And it always comes down to you and I, the people, the ultimate shareholders in this instance. No business operates like that. Government is fundamentally about serving all of the people and has no higher responsibility. Service is a dirty word in politics these days and yet is at the core of everything a good governance would stand for. Service, we need to reintroduce that concept back into our leadership or else we will see an endless line of Donald Trump wannabes well into the future.
