[quote=pri_dk]Why are we even discussing what building a real estate firm chooses to occupy, or what they pay their employees?
Private businesses can spend their money as they wish.
The difference between public and private sector is taxpayer money vs. private money.
I don’t know how someone cannot understand this fundamental distinction.[/quote]
Money is fungible. It doesn’t matter if we’re spending too much on the “private sector” or the “public sector.” If we’re paying too much for something, then we’re paying too much for something. I care about corruption; it doesn’t matter of the recipient of our money is wearing his “capitalist” hat or his “government/socialist” hat. There is no difference; and no, we do not always have a choice when buying things from the “private” sector.
