The power to tax, for example, is often used more to employ civil servants or workers in favored companies than to provide services the people want. Lacking competition, inefficient bureaucracies focus more on maintaining jobs than on serving putative customers.
比如说征税权经常被用来雇佣更多为企业利益服务的公务员或者工人，而不是提供民众急需的服务。缺乏竞争，效率低下的官僚机构更多地把注意力放在保住自己的位子而不是服务“顾客”。
