I am for taking as much out of the remote government's hands as possible and putting them into the hands of people on the ground = local governments. People would be much more involved if they had a stake in the way their money and goodwill is spent.

Dole, age care, disability pension, looking after the elderly, etc. We live our lives with other people. Governments tend to rob us of community. 

Local people making local decisions. Not hard. 



like most thing frank on paper it always looks good....

what about us ratepayers.....whos rates go up year after year.. yet with no reward  unless you call taking away the garbage reward....we pay for other peoples kerb and guttering  and even footpaths and roads.....why am I responsible every year for people I will never meet????>>.... why cant they pay with their own rates???  oh wait I forgot about our great big new prison...which is so full I think we are on our third extension.... guess whos keeping all those??????...

I think that might be enough for me frank...

Keynesian economics state that the government has to intervene in order to increase consumer spending to drive demand for goods and services. Providing low-income earners with more disposable income would achieve this goal. It seeks to create a 'trickle-up' economy.


And who is going to earn/produce that extra money?



It is done by wealth redistribution in the form of means-tested stipend.
