Oddly enough conservatives see that as a problem. They want this to be a big process for two reasons. First, taxpayers understanding the process is a good thing. It means they’re not getting gouged and they’re aware of their taxes. Second, they don’t want taxes to be something we just say “k” to like a cell phone bill. That could lead to it being extremely easy to raise taxes.
- xunn0026 5y agoThere is a logic here that's visible with salary talks in the EU: people only care about what they receive, not taxes; so all salary talk ignores taxes, all raises ignore taxes, all tax increases are irrelevant as long as they get in-hand the same amount. This is basically a population that sees taxes as magical money only the employer pays. People should definitively understand how much taxes they are paying so that they demand some accountability for their money. How do you accomplish that?
