Politicians, Taxes, and Your Vanishing Paycheck
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.

The council acknowledged that improving the service is a key priority and promised that improvements will start to be seen later this year.
