Government - by Government, for Government
You and your community know best
W must roll back excessive government involvement in everyday life. At present, the state is omnipresent—and we are passively allowing it to expand further.
How Government Takes Your Money
- Layer upon layer: Earnings face direct deductions (income tax or payroll tax), while spending attracts indirect levies (sales/VAT, fuel duties, excise on alcohol, tobacco, etc.).
- Hidden duplication: Employer-side contributions, property taxes, vehicle taxes and investment taxes bite separately, so the same pound or dollar is skimmed multiple times as it moves through the economy.
- Built-in complexity: Lengthy statutes and ever-shifting allowances make it hard for citizens to see the total claim, masking the true scale of government take.
- Constant leakage: Administrative charges—licence fees, congestion or toll charges, passport or permitting costs—convert routine interactions into revenue streams.
- Penalty premium: Fines for late filings, regulatory breaches or minor infractions add a further layer of enforced payment.
- End result: Once all tiers are combined, a majority share of each unit of earned income is ultimately redirected to the state before it can be freely saved, invested or consumed.

How Government Wasts Your Money
- Diffuse accountability: Responsibility is spread across departments and agencies, diluting clear ownership of outcomes.
- Political incentives: Success is often measured by headline announcements and electoral advantage rather than efficient service delivery or individual liberty.
- Bureaucratic drag: Large hierarchies and procurement rules slow decision-making and inflate project costs.
- Soft budget constraints: Overruns are met with supplementary allocations, so cost discipline is weak and waste accumulates.
- Opaque allocations: Detailed spending is buried in dense documents, making scrutiny difficult and encouraging misallocation or, at worst, corruption.
- Crowding-out effect: Money directed to fashionable or politically expedient programmes is unavailable for core services or debt reduction.
- Outcome mismatch: Despite record inflows, citizens frequently encounter strained infrastructure, extended waiting lists and service backlogs—evidence that resource quantity does not guarantee quality.
