Ideally government services I recieve from my tax dollars would outweigh the negative from what is coming out of my income. Personally I don’t believe that to be the case. Maybe “Standard of Living” wasn’t the right term to use, what I mean is if I got to keep the money that was going to taxes I would be able to buy a home, use my healthcare, and a little left over for hobbies and savings. If I had enough income that I could do all these things while still paying taxes I wouldn’t bitch but instead I’m paycheck to paycheck with just about everything going to rent and other necessities and really not getting much in return from the government other than the roads and post office… Obviously there are programs the benefit other people more but I don’t really think it’s fair to expect my income bracket to foot the bill for those when I can’t even achieve a decent life for myself.
Exactly and what you’re saying is absolutely verifiably accurate so you’re justified in what you are saying. I hope you vote in the correct direction to see these changes. Defending public services and cutting taxes for the rich does not benefit you.
Ideally you would have support to bridge the gap. Personally I’d aim to be in the position that I get less from the government than I provide, which is honestly a tall order when you factor in the inner workings of properly ran country.
I would rather pay higher taxes than cut services people need to survive. I don’t want to cut benefits to anyone (except maybe corporations getting subsidized). I just think the tax burden should be shifted to those that have the cash to spare.
