To those who pay taxes indirectly, taxes are incredibly detached and dispersed. It is very hard to see jobs that were not created do to the disincentive of the tax. Higher prices at the store are often due to higher cost of taxes, yet it is very hard to fully understand the complexity of taxes in the economy. Many are willing to accept a new tax when it is hard to see they are paying for it, however they clearly see the benefit when government gives them money. |
