… why the private sector “doesn’t have a lock on wealth creation”… the approach stems from a misconception that the public sector is an expense and only the private sector can create wealth… “Clean, potable water is a form of wealth… Quality public schools are a form of wealth. It doesn’t become wealth creating only when you privatize it… Moving services from the public to the private “isn’t wealth creating, it’s wealth shifting”… Right now, governments are focusing on cuts instead of how to increase revenue through bringing “fairness into the tax code”.
