Government taxes citizens in order to provide them with services.
Want lower taxes? Then we get less service from government. That's assuming Seguin isn't just burning the dollar bills to heat the township office in winter.
This is the basic trade off that goes back and forth over time - taxes vs. services.
Right now I'm writing the survey for Ward 1. I hope the survey will help me discover what people want from government in terms of services when I campaign door-to-door this summer and fall.
And you know what will happen. Isn't it always the same? We want lots of services and low taxes. Wouldn't it be nice?
