The Issue
A recent poll has revealed high levels of dissatisfaction among the populace about tax rates.
The Debate
"Do you know how much of my year's work goes to the government?" demanded angry worker Freddy Longfellow. "Too much! Government spending has gotten way out of control. It needs big cuts in welfare, health, and education. But leave those subsidies to business alone. We need them to create jobs."
[Accept]
"It's not the AMOUNT of tax, it's where the burden falls," says student activist Melbourne Falopian. "And at the moment, far too much of the burden is falling on the poor. People on high incomes still have more money than people on low incomes. I don't think I need to say anything more than that."
[Accept]
"I don't object to the amount of tax, I object to where it's being spent," says social reformer Elizabeth Mistletoe. "I'd like to see everyone have a choice as to where their pecuniams go every time they fill out a tax return. Everyone would feel a lot better about opening their wallets if they had a say as to where the money went. I think you'd see a lot more public money going to education and a lot less to business."

Does anyone know what the responses are? I've heard that some people say tax cuts increase your economy while I've heard from others that thay descrease it. I'm pretty high in all three catoagories and I'm looking to not reduce any of them, though I am looking to up my economy. Which one should I pick? Thanks
