The areas where people vote for less and less government tend to be the places that have the most minimal services. I have yet to see an area that truly attracts business because of having low regulation and taxes, they all seem to have absolutey no businesses because there is no infrastructure to build upon, nor an existing business community to interact with.

The problem is that in most places the general population is absolutely fine for being fleeced. They pay 30%-40% tax for a privilege of working for a big corporation that only contribution to their society are the salaries they pay. All the rest gets siphoned out to tax havens. So far neither the so called left nor right have a clue how to fix this. That is a next level entitlement for corporations to expect people build infrastructure for them for free.

The Marxists saw this coming 150 years ago, and not coincidentally they also have a few good ideas for how to fix it. They are worth hearing out.
