Clarity of the Idea

Just to clear up any misconceptions up about my idea, I wanted to say that my idea is not meant in a literal sense. Obviously, a government would not be exactly like a business, and so would operate differently, but that still does not mean that a government can't try to reach out to its people to treat them with the respect and reverence that they deserve, because unlike a business who loves their customers only for their money, the government should love its people because it exists for them. Basically, I feel that a government should take on the aspects of a business, rather than try to become one. Some of the aspects, such as maximizing the wealth of the company and shareholder's, would not be a priority for them, but rather, their priority would be to maximize the positive effect that they have on the people, since they are SUPPOSED to exist to serve the people within reason. They key here is practicality. Even if a government were to take up my ideas, they would not be able to, within reason, do for the people all that they wanted, because certain things might harm everyone, or the country itself, but there is nor harm in creating an environment that helps the people of the country as much as is practical for that country.
