St. Ricktopher go watch Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, then tell me that government is about helping people.
I do quite enjoy those shows. I did a lot of political studies at uni, so I think I have a fairly good grasp of the role of government.
I admit that government can often make life more difficult, but in my position at least, the aim is to help people. That is not to say that every part of the government has that aim so much in mind.
My original comment was to point out that at least with the Government call centres you dont have the obstacle of profit-making to get in the way of customer service.
