I do not believe that the government is in any position to say exactly how every single business and every single activity shall reach those performances.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There isn't one thing the federal government does that anybody in Big Business would emulate, at least not in the profit sector.
Government is not show business.
Don't make government work like a business... it's inherently inefficient.
It is just as important that business keep out of government as that government keep out of business.
It's been said that government doesn't create jobs, business does. For the most part, this is true. But government creates the environment in which businesses can excel and expand.
I'm much more interested in raising revenues for businesses than for the government.
I don't think individual achievement in business is the most meaningful way for it to operate.
Government's role should be only to keep the playing field level, and to work hand in hand with business on issues such as employment. But beyond this, to as great an extent as possible, it should get the hell out of the way.
You have to have a certain realism that government is a pretty blunt instrument, and without the constant attention of highly qualified people with the right metrics, it will fall into not doing things very well.
A business absolutely devoted to service will have only one worry about profits. They will be embarrassingly large.
