only about 50% pay taxes.
when one sitting government cuts taxes on those who pay, the people who don't pay feel cheated. When the sitting government raises taxes on the 50% who DO pay, the people who pay feel cheated.
its not much more complicated than that.
until we get to the point where only those who pay can vote (and that will never happen) we'll never have a responsibly run government.
