Sorry, SC. I WAS serious. Have you stood on line at the post office or the DMV lately? Or tried to get something done at a municipal office? Although your taxes pay for that service, they certainly don't view you as the customer, but more of an inconvenience. I certainly don't believe that ALL of them act that way. I'm sure that there are many such employees that are dedicated and hard-working. But a complete and total lack of motivation can lead to a lackadaisical attitude.

And what about the corporation? What about the jobs that they supply? The service or product? The taxes they pay, and for very few services. They pay school and town taxes, but they don't send children to school or get garbage pickup. If they make a profit, they're entitled to it. Should they conduct business in a moral and ethical way? Yes, of course.
