Very grateful to Larry for his explanations abnd references. Some of his points can be hard to grasp - like soap in the shower they slip away if you grab too hard! Much of my engagement with these issues is in more public arenas now, where people usually say 'You only get what you pay for'. It seems self-evident to them that you pay tax and get services in return. I hardly know where to begin in the face of this common sense view expressed by responsible and well-meaning people.
