It started as a Party game years ago - pushing money up hill to help subsidize the bureaucracy . Just another hidden grease run to keep the squeaky wheels turning.
If tax payers ever looked at the system and how there's so many hidden small revenue streams - heading from each and ever Village, Town and so on ! This is all meant to help quietly subsidize the next higher level of the system.
Most people think they know about how much in taxes that they pay - they look at their home owners tax bill - there school taxes and so on. They have no idea how many deals their local officials have made - or with who - all using the tax dollars collected from others.
Start with this and use it as a reason to see what other streams have been created in your Village.Town - and so on . Dont just bitch about what you find - expose it and educate others. Your so far supporting a failing system, more will come to light as it faulters.
Its a wasteful system that has mostly run unchecked because we don't care until we are made uncomfortable by it.
