In business, investing in capital improvements, equipment, fixtures, and professional development lead to growth.

For some reason, insistence on these same investments by government is viewed negatively, because it& #39;s socialism.

Maybe someone should explain that businesses 1/

Aren& #39;t taxed on these investments in their business, but their NET INCOME.

Nevermind the tax abatements businesses receive for locating in certain jurisdictions.

When people talk about "running government like a business" they conveniently omit the fact that some of the 2/

Most profitable, largest, and well known businesses became so well regarded and profitable because of those investments. It& #39;s not a coincidence - it& #39;s by design.

Government facilitation of investment in people, economic development and communities is good economica END RANT.
