you could say this about anything
Jesus wept pencils are not a naturtal monopoly. I'm not a commie who wants the government to make everything so bad capitalists can't make a profit. That's dumb and is never going to work. So no, I can't say the same about anything.

There's no incentive for the taxpayer to pay for a company that makes pencils, the reason being pencils are not an essential service where the population has no genuine choice but to use. If a pencil is too expensive, buy a different one. Sure the consumer might save a few pence if pencils are made by the government, but how many people does the government emplopy to make pencils?

Noone wants a big government do they? I don't. I want the government to be as small as possible while doing what's necessary to run the country.
