HThanks Marcy. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it. Like I said in the beginning, I've got nothing against taxes, in principle, but could say a few things about how they're collected and spent..
I hinted at what my own opinions are in the story.. for example, how much of taxpayer's money in spent on the military. Also on massively environmentally un-friendly infrastructure projects, instead of working towards systemic change and spending money on things which would actually improve people's quality of life and the living environment.
Subsidising destructive industries, giving tax breaks to corporations and billionaires, while at the same time raising taxes for people on low incomes, cutting public services, privatising healthcare and education and taxing basic necessities. These are the problems with our societies, not with tax itself.. I'm all for sharing wealth and for people contributing their fair share.
Totally agree
