Which high taxes are part of. Raising taxes is an admission that current tax policy, and the other side of the coin, the government spending policy, are awfully designed. Of course there has never been a competent design since taxes always need to be higher to "reduce" the ever increasing wealth gap higher taxes were supposed to be tackling in the first place. Just for once we could try something different maybe?
