Surpluses from taxes always ought to be given back to taxpayers. Taxes are to cover budgets and when you collect more than the budget, you should give it back.
They act like its a terrible thing. When a business overcharges people on a bill, you get that money back. These same people would sue a company for keeping more money than what the bill actually was.
Government can never give money back. Government neer has to tighten its belt but demands individuals do so when they raise taxes and fees on everyone each year.
