Then it becomes a matter of trust. I feel as if I pay enough in taxes already. Over 33% plus sales taxes etc. For me, this is way too much. If the gov't could earn my trust that they would govern in good faith and not flush my hard earned dollars down the toilet like the varsity sport it is now, then I would be more amenable to a slight raise in taxes if I could be sure of it's return (in the form of services, public benefit and good). I would also like an assurance that the burden isn't dumped on one group but rather spread out equally among everyone. Assuming certain BASIC services provided (health, education, public works), then an equitable tax structure should work accordingly. Maybe a 15-20% flat tax across the board.
I'm ready for another drink. I think it's Will's turn to buy.
