I have an issue, and I need your help.
Heres 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 Frank Furter. "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 May Barry. "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 Chastity Mombota. "I'd like to see everyone have a choice as to where their rubberbands 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."

If you're after increasing or decreasing your economy: #1 increases the economy, #2 and 3 decrease it.

If you're after increasing or decreasing political freedoms: #1 and #2 have no effect on political freedoms, #3 increases political freedoms.

If you're after increasing or decreasing civil rights: No effect.

As he's not a mod, his opinion is not verifiable. However, lack of equality will bring about a loss in civil rights.
