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?
We already pay too expensive taxes to receive services which aren't proportional to the costs in counterpart. To raise taxes doesn't mean better services, but more spendings from governments on public agents' wages and benefits (executive, legislative and judiciary).
I don't want good schools and healthcare from government, but only security. Regards the another aspects, I want to have enough money to afford it myself, having freedom to choose what school I want to attend to and what healthcare service I want to hire.
At same time, of course I want lower bills, because it gives me more autonomy to destiny my money to where I consider to be important and useful. I don't want a government doing it for myself.
