“If sufficient revenue is not coming in from taxes, the government finds OTHER ways to hit the little guys with higher taxes on items they purchase, on phone usage, MTA increases, postal increases, etc.”
I’m fairly certain that the only things that go up are state taxes, since the states (unlike the feds) actually make their budgets work each year. And if I’m not mistaken, the only state taxes are sales taxes, property taxes, and the like, which are rather hard to cheat on. Postal increases, on the other hand, are indeed federal: however, they go up to make up for the losses incurred by the postal service, regardless of how much is or is not collected in taxes.
SJSinNYC: Why thank you.
