Part 8/9:
Amid the outcry for transparency, deeper discussions about taxation and government responsibility arise. The sentiment emerges: why are there increasing taxes when waste and inefficiency appear rampant? Calls for a flat tax have surfaced, with some suggesting a 10% tax rate as a reasonable baseline. Advocates argue that reforming tax systems shouldn’t just focus on clinical revenue generation, but also take into account the efficient function of government services.
The need for reform extends beyond economics into the realm of ethics and governance. Ensuring that taxpayer money is not only collected but also spent responsibly on programs that serve genuine interests is vital for restoring public faith in government institutions.
