Stand by it. no one is begrudging you the opinion.
Properly funded is part of the problem. its not a paradigm that will ever occur because of how this country has operated, continues to operate and will operate into the future. Tell me that in your lifetime there has been a period where all services, infrastructure and social programs have been properly funded at the same time.. And no trolling, just a legitimate question - where the threshold from going happy to unhappy to pay for more?
If i could direct my taxes rather than the govt (ala Grill'd bottle cap charity style), then maybe i would be happy to do pay more too, but because i cant. id be happy to pay exactly zero% more than I have to.
But I disagree that if everything was properly funded that I wouldnt need as much money. Well maybe not need, but that doesnt change that money pays for everything we do. While we may not "need" more, surely you wouldn't say no tro having more disposable income to pay for the things you want? Need/want two factors that both influence quality of life.
The whole corporate tax debacle is just that. The argument to tax corporations properly is a sound one, untill the risk of them shutting up shop and moving to more tax friendly jurisdiiton raises its head. Granted, that wouldnt be all, but it could be many. It could have a negative tax revenue impact. Also dont have the maths to back that up, but if it was easy as just raising it, pretty sure it have been done by now. I mean what's the risk, right?
