[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the pros and cons of tax increases. Increases in income, payroll and property taxes usually meet with opposition when proposed by government officials. However, in many instances an increase in taxes can in the short and long term benefit those who pay them and those who rely on government funding to live. While in many cases, an increase in tax may be used to pay of local, state or federal deficits, in the case of taxes for benefit systems such as Social Security an increase in payroll tax may be the only option available in order to maintain the program, currently expected to begin an annual deficit in 2018. Other tax increases can be seen to benefit residents in a particular community immediately as in the case of Seattle area residents who have been asked to approve a tax increase to maintain the current park system.
