That seems to make sense but for some reason it just ain't working. Two areas that concern me lately are healthcare and taxes.
With all the smart groups (doctors, lawyers, and insurance companies) lobbying, why is the system so screwed up? I believe it is because a good healthcare system is not in their best interests and those groups wish to maintain the status quo because they are making out financially just fine as it stands.
The same goes for the tax system. Lawyers, accountants, financial advisors are making out just fine with a complicated tax system. Sinplifying it will just cost them money. It doesn't help that a majority of our representatives are lawyers themselves. Not that all lawyers are bad, but the more complicated things are, the more we need them.
