In today's world, I believe taxes have a tremendous impact on government economic policy. The issue of taxes seems to be one of the top concerns in voters' minds, along with their main gripes. Whether the tax is a revenue or spending measure, voters are generally happy when taxes are reduced and upset when they are increased. This attitude inevitably affects the government's economic policy. I believe one of the reforms in taxes that are needed is to reduce the amount of tax breaks for people with really high incomes. Using taxes on the rich as a means of redistribution, we could benefit everyone if that income was taxed fairly. Taxes should not be reduced altogether but reassessed so that richer people pay more. Taxes on the wealthy would make it easier for government to fulfill its responsibilities, as it would reduce the ability of the citizens to interfere with the government. It would also provide more resources for government to carry out its tasks.
