The political leaders talking like they want to improve economy but everything they do is taking down people can see that they want to add more taxes well it's a high pressiure on people.
Off course goverment knows exacly that higher taxes killing but keep going, perhaps we have reached to the point when something got be sacraficed in this case small company owners or self employers will take the hardest hit but some how some ways big corporations just keep earning and still pay little or no taxes.
It seems like they really want to kill economy perhaps it's time to let air out and pop the bubble to restart everything again from the down point seems like that's what the goverments are doing now.
It's true, taxes probably are too high and unfortunately the battle cry for most politicians is that they need to go higher. What they avoid doing is looking for waste within the system - we all know that private companies regularly reflect on their internal structures and try to carve out any unnecessary expenditures, but public officials don't seem to perform this act frequently enough. When your job relies on tax payer money, it is often easier to sit stationary and try to do as little as possible, because changes might somehow work you out of a job. It needs impartial outsiders to come in and take an unbiased view of the structure, which often requires dragging processes that are vastly out of date into the modern era - but you have to be mindful not to spend too much on consultants either and give them a clear task.
