Please let me pay more taxes!

CBC News has a great article on paying taxes, by Robert Smol. Smol points out that in business, everyone knows that the best-quality goods and services come at a cost, yet this rule doesn’t get applied to government services.

Smol argues in favour of his right to pay more taxes: “I want to pay more taxes because I want to be assured of the services that will ransom me and those who might one day take care of me from the harsh realities that life will inevitably leave on my doorstep, whether it be sickness, old age, natural disaster or economic meltdown.”

Smol’s approach is thought-provoking, and worth checking out. Many thanks to Harry Kits, for forwarding this link!
