Editorial on heavy civil service and tax drain in history
The piece reflects on Rome around 525 AD with Justinian and Theodora seeking conquest to revive empire finances. It notes high taxes but insufficient funds for planned projects and quotes a financial advisor that most tax money finances overpaid civil service. It questions how long such a system can endure and laments reliance on government programs and officials. It also mentions provincial government cars in Chetwynd for different departments.
