I also think raising taxes on people who aren't me is a great idea.

I mean, that's not what I said.

But from a macro-econ perspective, I do question why we're paying private businesses to do government work and then taxing them on what we paid them. Seems like we could just insource the work to government agencies and save everyone a bureaucratic headache.

I hate private public partnerships. So I agree with you there :)
