the government is trying to help us

A number of blogs on Workathon talk about the "too strong " role by the governme

nts(provincial and federal) in the economy.I have stated that economic growth would increase if less tax revenues were delivered into the hands of the government.It has even been speculated that the governments have dabbled in social programming where (friends) have gotten special treatment and income (unfriendlies) have not done as well as in a neutral situation.This kind of programming would put money into administration and materials that would have less of a trickle-down effect.The result of this behaviour ,if true,would reduce the government's economic multiplier even more.So far this does  not seem to be true.
