Big Government

Oh my goodness, is UKC the new Big Government? They are now charging a tax on RQE entries of $5 per dog. They are then paying money back to the winners of the World Championship. Now they say that this is being done to "stimulate" entries and prestige of World Championship. Does any of this sound familiar? Of course UKC(the government) is taking an "administrative fee" off the top. And guess what, they say that we asked for this tax.

Now then, look at the Performance Program. Here is another Big Government Program. Charge a tax for entering. Give a refund to winners. Charge an administrative fee or keep a portion for Big Government.

UKC is our governing body. They charge us a tax for everything they do. For this tax they govern us and provide government services. We get to elect members to represent us and set the laws for our hunts. But we have no say in how our government works or how our taxes are spent.

Is UKC not Big Government? Isn't UKC also a dictatorship?

You evidently failed ECONOMICS 101 in first grade.

Difference between GOVERNMENT and FREE ENTERPRISE

GOVERNMENT IS FORCED COMPLIANCE..PAY OR GO TO JAIL

FREE ENTERPRISE..IF COSTS GET TOO HIGH or I DON"T LIKE THE PRODUCT .... THEY DON'T GET MY MONEY

Free Enterprise??? It may be very enterprising but it sure isn't free.

Let's just say it is like the game of MONOPOLY

You either own everything on the board and make big bucks or you are the one that goes broke trying to stay in the game and play.............or you go to jail in some instances
