Citizens Struggle Under "Unfair" Tax Burden

[Ishema]

The issue titled Citizens Struggle Under "Unfair" Tax Burden needs to have another option. Usually when an issue like this comes up, there is an option for people to makes things more overboard. Thiks issue needs a fourth option, allowing evil dictators like me to actually increase taxes. Otherwise, I can only choose to be the nice guy.

The current options are:

1. "Do you know how much of my year's work goes to the government?" demanded angry worker Dave Rubin. "Too much! Government spending has gotten way out of control. It needs big cuts in welfare, health, and education. But leave those subsidies to business alone. We need them to create jobs."

2. "It's not the AMOUNT of tax, it's where the burden falls," says student activist Beth Wong. "And at the moment, far too much of the burden is falling on the poor. People on high incomes still have more money than people on low incomes. I don't think I need to say anything more than that."

3. "I don't object to the amount of tax, I object to where it's being spent," says social reformer Bianca Washington. "I'd like to see everyone have a choice as to where their Rubles go every time they fill out a tax return. Everyone would feel a lot better about opening their wallets if they had a say as to where the money went. I think you'd see a lot more public money going to education and a lot less to business."

True enough, the government of a nation such as yours would not grant much attention to such requests. I think it would just implement its own option, without consulting the suggested options.

Come to think of it, I wonder whether there would be a parliament at all - at least an actually working one ?

FIVE OPTIONS! BURN THE WITCH!

I agree with you wholeheartedly, Ishema. I just got this one. How come there's no option for "Raise taxes until they learn to stop bitching about it, and then raise them some more."
I believe in raising taxes just because I can, just to piss them off. How come that's not an option?
When will the little playthings ever learn...
