Translation: we don’t want to but it’s the right thing to do.
Good on them for actually doing something right even if it’s in their crooked underhanded way. It’s kind of like finding out The Joker has decided to fund orphanages around Gotham, like yeah I guess that’s nice but he was hitting them with laughing gas not long ago.
Translation: We will lose billions of dollars per year, and therefore have less money on public services.
A tax cut is a service cut
Absolutely! Unfortunately, not something the small government voters understand (from my experiences living in a conservative area). Simultaneously sabotaging funding for public services through tax cuts while also criticising the lack of service from the same sectors. E.g. Hospital staff funding cuts leading to ramping. Guess which one they care about; the cause or the result.
But given the option between giving tax breaks to the upper echelons or the masses I’m choosing the many over the few.
