When tax rates are not explicit, millennials say they’d prefer larger government offering more services (54 percent) to smaller government offering fewer services (43 percent). However when larger government offering more services is described as requiring high taxes, support flips and 57 percent of millennials opt for smaller government with fewer services and low taxes, while 41 percent prefer large government.

That is the key. Making it clear exactly what people are paying in taxes.

Pretty much no one has a clear idea what they really pay in taxes because much of what we pay is hidden from us in taxes paid by businesses and industrial corporations.

Business does not pay taxes, they collect them. Business passes on to its customers the cost of the taxes that they pay to government. This is government hiding from the citizen the cost of government and making larger government more palatable to the citizen.

When the Leftist try to tell you that businesses are getting off easy on taxes let them know that all taxes roll down to the individual. There is no getting around that fact.
