Lobbying Is Bribing and Must End

Powerful people influence government policies. They are the ones who decide what's good for us. Why do we pay taxes then?

People probably think that the main government decisions regarding everything are made by experts. This isn’t true.

I had a chance to know people who work in 2 of the biggest institutions in the world: FDA and WHO. What is common is that people who work there need to have only one skill - don’t think and create policies based on whatever are told by their supervisors. These policies aren’t based on evidence or science but depend on what their sponsors want. Yes, taxpayers are also kind of sponsors but big money comes from private donors. Politicians work on the same principle - they receive salary pay by the taxpayers, but make decisions based on what their bigger sponsors want. It is called lobbying and is a lawful way of bribing. Powerful figures can change the political course of the whole country by it. All products on the market aren’t there, because they are better than the products which aren’t. Companies just pay government officials to approve their products. This is the reason that for example why the biodegradable products cannot be found on the mass market. New green companies cannot compare to the old petrol products industry to “buy” politicians. It is the same with the medical products. This is the reason of course for the fast not evidence based approval of COVID-19 vaccines as well.  

Why do we pay taxes then?

Imagine you have your own business and hire people to do some work for you but instead they steal money from you, work for other business, give them your secrets, and try to kill you at the end. You will fire them immediately of course and seek justice. It is what the governments of almost every country in the world do. You pay them but they work against you!

How could we fix it?

Just look at the government as a private entity offering a service. 

Taxes aren’t mandatory or legal if not used as the taxpayers want. Government officials are just service providers and can be fired at any moment.

Again: taxes are payments in return of a service. Not happy with the service? Request your money back. You can do it. It is your money. Nobody can tell you what to do with your money!

Also. Find like-minded people and request a reduction of administration, and end of lobbying.
