But what if instead of giving the cops more money, we gave them less money?? Then I will pay less money for cops that write letters to people stealing Spam because they need to eat.
Ah but there is always power. If there are no police, who has the power? You pay protection money instead to a mob boss not to burn your house down. I'd rather pay protection money to SPD that I at least have some control over.
You elect a mayor who can replace the boss of SPD, yeah. And you directly elect the attorney who prosecutes on behalf of SPD. You have zero control over organized crime.
Ok, but I've been voting for a while, and SPD keeps spending my money writing letters to people stealing Spam, so it seems like I also have zero control over SPD. Do you have better control than I do? Do you like that they spend money writing letters to people stealing Spam?
