You don't understand the situation. The Government needs to raise x number of dollars to run a modern country. If the cut taxes that come after income tax, they have to raise income tax to cover the missing money.

How about they decide that people who are paying the kind of taxes you grumble about are the only ones who pay the extra to make up the difference?

Suggest where the extra money comes from and we can discuss that. Think of it in terms of balancing business budgets.

Your greed is clouding your judgement.
