The only certainties we have are death and taxes, or so the saying goes. Taxation was one of the original concerns when the United States declared independence from Great Britain. Taxation, one of the central areas of economic policy for the federal and state governments, drives much public debate to this day. How do you believe taxes affect government economic policy today? What types of reforms would you like to see in taxes? Should taxes be lowered overall? Should some groups be paying more than they are now? How would the changes you recommend affect the economy and the ability of the government to carry out its functions?

Explanation:

Uhh, I think taxes help keep our economy balanced. I wish they'd lower the rates though, because most of the time everyone wants to hold onto as much of their own money as they can. In other words, yes taxes should definitely be lowered. Considering this topic I'm not really the guy to ask. I mean it'd make sense for the wealthy to pay higher taxes than the poor but there are just too many factors to see that idea play out with no issues, but then again I don't honestly have a say. At the end of your purchase you will always find the word "tax". If I could change government policies, there would be a fair system that has your accounts, occupation, and utiliities (pretty much anything you pay for consistently) filed through so that each individual can pay their own taxes in a rate that suits their amount of income. This way everything is fair and no one is paying for taxes they can't afford or extra taxes that they certainly don't need.
