| Bureaucracy in government is an intricate system in which no one person
can be held responsible, the rule by Nobody.
Each town and school department becomes its own self-licking ice cream cone. In political jargon, a self-licking ice cream cone is a self-perpetuating system that has no purpose other than to sustain itself.
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Goverment programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of an expanding bureaucracy.
The city is a collection of officials, different for difference purposes, drawing comfortable incomes so long as the status quo is preserved. The only alteration they are likely to desire in the status quo is an increase of bureaucracy and the power of bureaucrats. Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate. This tyranny is conducted using the Framingham police.
It always does seem to me that I am doing more work than I should do. It is not that I object to the work, mind you; I like work; it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours. I love to keep it by me; the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart. You cannot give me too much work; to accumulate work has almost become a passion with me; my study is so full of it now that there is hardly an inch of room for any more. I shall have to throw out a wing soon And I am careful of my work, too. Why, some of the work that I have by me now has been in my possession for years and years, and there isn't a finger mark on it. I take a great pride in my work; I take it down now and then and dust it. No man keeps his work in a better state of preservation than I do. |
| The Framingham city council view taxpayers as an unending source of wealth to fund their re-election chances by catering to the public sector unions. In essence, they cater to the few (the unions) and disregard the many (the taxpayers). |
