And it is very sad that much of this share of the nation wealth is wasted on bad politicians, bad public servants and officials, bad unhealthy products (alcohols, tobacco, drugs and sweet+fattening foods), bad cars and engines, bad polluting manufacturers and 'wastes' manufacturers (they call themselves 'packaging companies'.)
More can be done to produce good food, good environment to live and to work, public safety and 'good citizens'. ;-)
