☭proletarian☭;1977906 said:Not necessarily true. Depending on the job, real wealth can be created, just as in the private sector. There is no difference in that regard between a manufacturer paid directly by his boss or through State channels.
Removing money from the market through taxes does not necessarily destroy jobs, if the wealth was not being used to create wealth in the first place (eg: money taken from Bill Gates' bank account, where it sits and does nothing).
If the State fills a role that private enterprise was not fulfilling, or creates a job that the private market had not, then jobs are created, so long as the job creates some wealth for which their is a market.
While government intervention usually has a negative impact, it does not necessarily have to.
If the market didn't create a job then there's a reason for that, and government "creating" that job will destroy other jobs and misallocate resources.
You should bring your thinking into the 21st century. You're operating on a premise that was negated by free trade agreements.
The way a market operates was not negated by "free trade" agreements.
