Dude, politics is a system that society has created to prevent change. When you get that, the western system of governance makes more sense.
You’re looking at it from the wrong side. Imagine a politician saying, “we’re starting a new tax, 20% of your income”. You ask why, what’s it for and he says “everything!” how keen are you for that?
All taxes were created one at a time and sold to people individually. Politicians said “we need money for x, we need to tax y to pay for it”. Run for office on a platform of eliminating all taxes with your omnibus tax reforms and we’ll see how it goes.
I think because when a tax is getting implemented the people want to know exactly why they pay it and what it’s for.
Here we have school boards that manage a very large area of many schools. The taxes of many municipalities pool to fund many schools. These tax systems are old and probably very hard to change. I’m sure there are better ways to do things but the political might to change the system isn’t there.
I’m all for tax reform, but people need to understand what taxes pay for what stuff. I’m sure municipalities would like a different way to generate revenue than property taxes as well.
In Canada we like “sin” taxes on bad for you things. The lottery funds schools, liquor taxes fund health care for example.
I want to pay and gladly will for community enrichment,
Most people say this and I agree. And then the comment under you is complaining about paying property taxes which directly pay for these things you’d like to see funded.
Here’s my sign.
The part about wrapping around the treads between the button and shirt is to give space for the button hole side and to protect the threads from wearing against the button hole and provide longevity to the repair.
I can’t tell if it’s an Americanized version of lighter or litre.
The worst part is, after you block all the foreign language communities, all the Linux, all the loli anime, there’s very little left.
There hasn’t been a post in /sailing in 2 years. Depends what you’re looking for I guess.
I feel the same same way about Linux posts and pervy anime. Blocking communities is how lemmy dispenses dopamine.
I recommend finding communities you don’t like and blocking those, then browse the all feed. Otherwise you get 3 posts a week.
I paid $15 for the optional supportive bandage.
Why are you mad at the cops and not the person who called them? That’s like getting mad at the firemen and not the arsonist.
PROFESSIONAL HOG CRANKER? WOW BROTHER, YOU’RE LIVING MY DREAM! AROOOOO
Marine fabricator, which sounds better than upholsterer. I specialize in canvas, making enclosures for boats.
You’d be wrong. You can whip up blood pancakes!
