Now here’s a fantastic use of public dollars:

Your dose of Brussels insanity arrives in a rare form today: an online game teaching children “to collect more taxes”. ‘Taxlandia’, a simulation game released by the EU Commission’s Department for Taxation and the Customs Union, bears the motto “tax builds my future”. And they wonder why Britain left…

Playing around with the game a little, it occurred to me that it’s a near-perfect distillation of the social vision that our Democrat Governor Gina Raimondo is attempting to enact in Rhode Island.

Every public expenditure is an “investment” and is counter-balanced entirely and only by people’s not being happy with the tax burden.  Whether they’re happy with government services seems to be a given, except that more money might need to be spent.

Moreover, there’s no variable for the negatives of government activity.  A government “investment” never comes at anybody’s expense except taxpayers, which is to say that the government never affects the market in a negative way.  There also doesn’t appear to be a point at which those “investments” create a classes of dependents and union workforces that change the nature of government and drive it into bankruptcy.
