Another dream in the dream series - Parking charges

The scene of the dream, a fictitious council somewhere in middle England....again.
CJ; I've just had a great thought to make easy money, lets double the parking charges in town
Goffer; Surely doing that it will put people off coming to town?
CJ; Yes, great isn't it. We can claim it as a green initiative, less cars, less pollution
Goffer; Masterful CJ but that will mean less people in the shops
CJ; Thought of that one too, the shops won't need so many staff so saving on their overheads. They will love it
Goffer; Yes...... It might even force some of those pesky small shops to shut down.
CJ; Great! less money to pay out on services for them and we can save money getting rid of staff because we won't have to collect their rates.
Goffer; Er... We don't actually supply any services to businesses
CJ; Minor detail.
Goffer; If enough of the pesky businesses shut we can turn off the lights and save more money.
CJ; Now you're getting the hang of it

Don't know what happened next as I woke up, luckily it was only a dream, it wouldn't really happen, would it? How would I know I'm only a dog.
