Government is a business like any other. It is the company that, through the contract of the Constitution or the local contracts that cover the operations of states, municipalities, and communities carries out certain functions on our behalf.
Officially government is a non-profit, and like most non-profits this status means there is no owner or group of shareholders that reaps an overall profit, but that its board and employees find working for it to be very profitable. And so like most non-profits, it is run for the benefit of its board and employees... and the friends and associates of the board.
