Again you are wrong... Governement has unlimited money because it can tax its citizen as much as it wants (
). It can even claim back private properties, ask China about it... Governement doesnt rob its citizen but I can agree that it could be more selective in its spending. Governement invest in things that noone would ever invest in because it gives no benefit to the individual or need a too big investment: road, hospital, public transportation, education, environement etc... Still, we need these!
The theorical role of the governement in a country is the one of a resource allocator that plans for the long term. This is far from what we are seeing right now, I know! Hence the frustration of the people toward it. Especialy the Bush administration who spent billions in a very debatable way.
My guess is that you are from the states, you enjoy a very low tax rate compare to us in Canada, ex: 50% on revenu after 50kcan$, 15% sale taxes, 4% city & school district tax... Its impossible to get rich here...
To be back on topic, now imagine that this <useless kid> learn how to speak to human and can but used as a dog/human translator. This is has much hypothetical as this ridiculous story but you can see how this person would repay a thousandfold its cost to society!
