Senator Tuffy's criticism about service charges could be made against any form of indirect taxation which is not directly income related. Our entire taxation system cannot be based on income tax and, besides, there are exemptions to service charges. Such arguments are made by people who preach social solidarity but in this case solidarity breaks down and people are encouraged not to support the community. The same politicians criticise taxation levels as being too low. I do not understand their logic and I believe theirs is a very tired campaign.
