A Sneaky Way of Raising Taxes

A Sneaky Way of Raising Taxes

Reducing the size of a package is a sneaky way of raising the price. 
Reducing Gov't services is a sneaky way of raising taxes. 

When an individual, a class, or a corporation evades taxes, they shift the tax burden to others. This is another sneaky way of raising taxes on the unprivileged; either they'll pay more in taxes or receive less in services. 

Don't be fooled; when politicians talk about shrinking the size of government, they are proposing giving you less services. You'd be paying the same tax for fewer services. Your effective tax rate would increase. When pols propose returning a million dollars to the rich and a hundred dollars to others, they are raising the effective tax rates on the latter. 

Consider what actual effect politicians' sneaky proposals will have on your taxes, your quality of life, and your expenses. Not fixing bridges is a bad way to reduce government and taxes.
