Cons

1st Statement:
This is presuming of course that democracy is in fact better for the state. It is presuming also that countries that charge extortionate taxes directly are actually giving the public the accountability they long for. How can it be said that a democracy, rule of the people by the people, is effected by one vote every four years for parties we have not chosen which collaborate together to come up with policies? How can we say that this one vote makes an effective state?

2nd Statement:
This argument formulates what high tax rates show us. But the reality is that this makes two fundamental mistakes. For one, the question is not ‘do taxes show us that society is effective’ but ‘do high taxes make a society effective’. This is an altogether different question. In addition, how can it be said that people are not paying taxes out of force? Maybe not physical force, but emotional. People are tied to where they live. They have jobs, families and their language. Just because people stay does not show that they are happy.

3rd Statement:
We place a lot of trust in the government when we pay them high taxes. We assume that the money we pay them in taxes will go on what is effective for society. These things include the health care system, welfare benefits and the education system; public services. However, does the government actually spend the money in the most effective way possible? In Sweden, where taxes can reach up to 60 percent when all the taxes are calculated, it has been shown that increased taxes actually results in more bureaucracy, not better public services. The money gets spent on hiring more people to work for the government as administrators, in order so that the government have to do less work instead of being spent on important officials like police men, doctors or educators.
