Very much a case where people should read the article rather than just comment on the headline alone. The headline is an interesting editorial choice.

66% back lower taxes for better services at a higher quality with less waste

Interesting headline. 35% said taxes were too high, 25% dont want them change, yet they lead with this? I support higher taxes for better services but the public, it seems, does not.
Even the comment carried in the article say this is support for an enhanced welfare state.
Is this bias?

We don’t get anywhere near the services we should get with the amount of tax we pay. Public transport is a joke, as is public health care. I can’t drink tap water where I’m from. Can’t think of anything else right now but I’m sure there’s plenty more. As far as I can see, most of us are only paying tax to keep a government running that’s full of corruption and giving stupid expensive sets of golf clubs to a large orange pedophile from America.

Aside from anything else.
I am generally for higher taxes and better services.
The thing is fucking everything is privatised. We have an economy raj for private CEOs and their wishes beat the publics at every turn. Higher taxes wouldn’t mean hmbrtter services it would mean higher bonus for the wealthy shareholders. Tax them or reorganise into an economy that actually invests in our society and infrastructure.

That’s probably because almost as many people pay effectively zero income tax. If you’re earning above the average wage, however, you’re paying a lot indeed.

Just services would be nice.

Better services? I’d be happy with services being provided in the first place because they are not there! And until you need the specific services we don’t have, you’re pretty unaware of it.
