Your taxes are not well-spent

I sympathize with his frustration, but that doesn't mean that this assertion holds water:<p>"If you’re truly entrepreneurial, you’ll forge ahead into this underserved market and find yourself not just creating wealth for you and your company, but for the community around you as well."<p>I think that any entrepreneur foolish enough to try it will quickly discover the true meaning of the word "bureaucracy". It's not like you can just walk into the DMV and sell them a better software package! No, it's going to be years of Study, and Request for Proposal, and Customization Requirements, and perhaps a state bond measure to pay for the inevitable multimillion dollar price tag.<p>If you're truly entrepreneurial, you will likely avoid this tar-pit and go spend your time working on problems which can actually be solved.
