Are you being farmed? This is a fictional story about how the taxes you pay are being managed. If you are happy with the way your Government manages your taxes this story is not for you! If not read on. After years of observing the management of Governments in different parts of the world, the fictional characters of Barney and his wife Susie returned to the island of their birth to live out their retirement. In which ever country they lived, they observed a consistency in the poor quality of service provided by Government Departments. How could this be, when those who managed and worked for government held the most secure jobs available to any worker. Why were they tardy in the delivery of services? Why were they not motivated? Was it laziness? Was it lack of accountability? Was it absence of responsibleness? Was it lack of direction? Was it bad management? Living out their retirement in the fictional island of their dreams, they thought they had left all that behind them. Fate intervened and soon they discovered they too were caught in the trap of bureaucracy. Events led to they and their neighbors' forming a community group called WeToo to tackle several issues of mismanagement in their community. The group railed at the wider implications of this for society at large and the excessive increasing cost to taxpayers of mismanagement. They identified symptoms of the problem, analyzed and then came up with solutions to fix the problem. They engaged with themselves and the authorities in order to resolve issues, but to no avail. Respecting the democratic system they lived in, they established action groups in each specific area of concern with the aim of at least starting a conversation about mismanagement. Wheels spun, voices were heard but they soon learned how hard it was to "fight city hall"!
