Yeah, but those unnecessary public servants might inefficiently work to point this out. They might come up with clever "facts and figures" which might demonstrate how we're kneecapping ourselves by enriching landlords.

Which is completely unacceptable. Landlords need dignity.

No, we're better off cutting funding to for instance the Serious Fraud Office which returns $8 for every dollar spent. Those cheeky buggers that make it harder for a dishonest businessman to make bank.
