Coming from a country where there is one party, one rule, where there is no freedom of choice, I value the freedom of choice and independence. I do not believe in limiting our participation in making our choices in an election. Democracy works only when everyone participates. It would be unfair to allow the majority to impose tax burden on a minority group of constituents. Costs and benefits both need to be shared fairly and equitably.
Tax is a public policy tool.
Changes should be made very carefully, thoughtfully and deliberately with open and public involvement. This is a very complex issue. We must respect and protect the rights of individuals. Financial institutions must inform and get consent. At the same time we must balance freedom of speech and protecting our society and values and respecting others.
