Otherwise you invite competition.[/quote]
You’re missing entirely how endemic corruption is to privatization. Read about the history of privatization in various countries around the world and see what happens when privatization takes hold. Read about how privatization has resulted in poor outcomes here in our own country as well. Read the links from my posts above, or just Google, “Does privatization save money?”
The only thing privatization does is expand the wealth/income gap and concentrate power into fewer and fewer hands. It does NOT save taxpayers or consumers money. It will NOT result in more or better paying jobs for workers. Learn about the people and organizations behind the privatization movement to see why this is being pushed.
