Taxation and the middle class

[ijmorlan]

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.
