Taxation and the middle class

[danbrotherston]

It's not an outrageous increase, but an increase is still an increase. It may not be a lot of money for most of us who post here but for others, even a small increase in taxes can hurt. I don't think anyone likes to see a government put their filthy hands in their pockets.

Depends what it’s for. If it’s a democratically elected government collecting funds for widely useful services such as sidewalk clearing, bring it on.

It’s definitely not worth listening to people who think tax increases are inherently bad.

People who think government is our enemy are actively burning society down. I’m done with them.
