How do government and the private sector intersect?



check out this interesting graph that I found at blog.american.com



The main thing that intersects the government and the private sector is the economy. I think that it is because of this why big corporations are succeding in paying the ones on top so much money and little businesses are struggling to survive. In a way I think it is fair but in another way I don't think it gives everyne an equal chance. Then here is the government who say we all need to work together to have a good economy and they say that more businesses are putting more jobs out there, but I really can't see it. It looks to me that its all just talk so that people will continue to vote for who ever is in the government.

If you look at the video that I posted, I think that is a good example on how the government is trying to take over everything....the government says its all for the better and they said its going to change and that the people will still have control over it but I see the opposite. Even more funny, on the video title "lie of the year", I could not have put a better name on it!

I also read this article that pertained a little bit to what we are talking about and I think it would be a good thing for you to read. There is one paragraph that really stood out to me that I think is really messed up but can believe it. It says, "the report shows that desipte all the public pleas for the federal governement to play a reduced role in private businesses, many fortune 500 companies are using the federal government as their personal ATM's and have made no moves to get off the dole".

Critical Question:  If the government didn't intersect like that, do you think the economy would be better??
I think there is a good chance.
