Tax
Ah, taxes—the magical process where the government takes your money, spends half of it figuring out how to spend the other half, and then tells you they need more. Politicians, those ever-charismatic tightrope walkers of public trust, promise tax cuts while approving pay raises for themselves. Meanwhile, the government, an all-knowing entity with the efficiency of a sloth on vacation, assures you that your hard-earned dollars are being put to good use—like funding studies on why pigeons bob their heads. And when you dare question it? Well, that’s just unpatriotic.

Backers argue that it would stop residents having to bear the cost of managing tourism, while critics question how the charge would be collected and spent.
