How exactly can a government take care of people when it has no state owned businesses to raise the necessary money in order do take care of said people ? by taxation alone ?
*state owned businesses *
This is why we failed as country, government is to take care country... not to handle businesses...
Yes with Tax...Not Taxing like Sri Lankan way...
Check how taxing is done on Singapore,Malaysia... and Other developed countries


You're wrong. Singapore government heavily invest, own billion dollar businesses in Singapore. Currently Singapore government operate businesses worth over 22% of the Singapore GDP.
Our country didn't fail because government handled businesses as you said. It's totally the opposite. Sri Lanka failed because government didn't do enough businesses, put insane amount of taxes on people and didn't stop the corruption.

now, as you can see, compared to Singapore, Malaysia and other developed countries, we are not getting taxed nearly enough!
With taxing as it is, my original question stands, How is the government supposed to take care of the people without state owned businesses to generate revenue ?
