I wonder if we are all trapped in the same game. We want more help from our governments, but we do not want to pay higher taxes. We want good schools, healthcare, safe streets, but also lower bills. I am just as guilty. I like cheap services and extra support too. Who doesn't?
Who wouldn't want to live an easy life without having it be the cost of an arm and a leg? It is not surprising. But the issue is having to pay taxes but not seeing good things come from it. For example, in my country. We are a third world country. Politicians are accused of stealing and not paying taxes. Healthcare is expensive. Not enough free education. Infrastructure is inefficient. And yet. People still need to pay taxes.
I wouldn't mind having to pay huge amounts of money in taxes if I am living good. A lot of people do not want to pay taxes because they do not have anything to pay it for. They can barely survive. I just think it is not proportionate to increase taxes without improving the state of your country.
