Government is the institutions, Obama's people are his administration, not his government.

Right, so you would talk about the Martin government or the Trudeau government, but never the Mulroney administration.

it's irritating that nearly all of my water bill is flat fees that have nothing to do with how much water I use

Wouldn't it be irritating if your taxes were higher?

Actually, no. I don't "see" the taxes being taken out of my salary, per se. I don't really miss that money. The water bill comes out of my spending money.

so you would talk about the Martin government or the Trudeau government, but never the Mulroney administration

It occurs to me that I'm pretty sure Jamaica follows Commonwealth rules, and I've never heard administration used in our context. But...so not paying attention.

Well, if anything, I would hope it would be part of property taxes, not income taxes.
