There is only one "minor" flaw with your assertion. Councils don't
have a monopoly. Unlike the situation with gas and electricity bills
some years ago any householder can contract with any supplier to
deal with their waste.
However, as with roads, education, defence and many other things the
householder will not get a discount if they don't use the government
provided service.
So a monopoly.
Well - I think not. The option to use other services remains.
Oh good grief......
Private armies seem not to be appreciated for some reason, so let's
leave that one aside.
However, if I use a toll bridge or toll road I pay for them, otherwise I don't.
Yes - not too keen on that notion either, but that debate is even
further off topic !
I can imagine not. I find the French peage system pretty effective.
If you want a better service, you pay. If you want cheap, you don't.
