Census Ads

By John Stossel on Government

Do Census ads annoy you the way they annoy me? "If we don't know how big our COMMUNITY is, how do we know how big our HOSPITALS need to be?" And "if we don't know how many SCHOOLKIDS there are, how do we know how many CLASSROOMS we need?" and "if we don't know how many PEOPLE we have, how do we know how many TRAINS we need?"

Gee, you'd think they might notice that we get bread and milk at the supermarket without government dictating how many loaves/cows are needed.

Of course this is the kind of ad campaign a bunch of government bureaucrats would endorse, because they can't even conceive of a world where the MARKET takes care of things without the government being involved. They have a completely different worldview.
