The reality is people are too damned scared to vote for a small increase to help their neighbors while in reality the current government is going to do everything to strip away our current systems so that you end up paying way more for everything in the end.

Ask yourself honestly what would have been more expensive for you on the bottom line:

A small tax increase or a culmination of a the small increases that have occurred as a result of the UCP? Insurance, electricity rates, k country pass, etc.

Fundamentally this is my problem with people here, they will happily accept a nickel and dime action but will cry like a two year old at paying (still) the cheapest tax rates in the country.

Maybe we need a Medical War Room
