When the government gets involved in pricing, I don't think it's the right way to look at a business.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Surely there comes a time when counting the cost and paying the price aren't things to think about any more. All that matters is value - the ultimate value of what one does.
I'm much more interested in raising revenues for businesses than for the government.
When businesses face tough times, one of the first items they cut is overhead expenses. The government should do the same.
I don't think we can go back to the old days. But I think that what the government needs to do is it needs to make sure that the pricing is fair, that you don't have monopolies out there, so that people don't have a chance to compete fairly.
Don't make government work like a business... it's inherently inefficient.
Government is the only industry in which we don't have a choice. If you live somewhere, you belong to that government. So we get bad service for high prices. This doesn't have to be.
Although it's difficult, if not impossible, to put a dollar value on the numerous services nature provides, leaving them out of economic calculations means they are often ignored.
You can't allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don't consider what you do to have any value at all, and that's nonsense.
If we look at pricing holistically, we'll create a more solid business.
When you are led by values, it doesn't cost your business, it helps your business.
