The less obvious a tax is, the more likely people are to pay it without complaining
…which is why politicians take the income tax automatically out of your paycheck and HATE taxes like the property tax where you actually stand in line with a check.
That’s the main reason why tax and spenders want the Milwaukee County bus line paid for by a less visible tax than the property tax.
That way it won’t be as easy for people to see how much money they’re giving over to the government and then ask inconvenient questions like “what am I getting for all this?” and “Where’s my money going?”
