Source Of Revenue And Allocation

Town, city, or county A state, or a country Depends on taxes to support Basic infrastructure systems. Income they generate from Taxes on income, sales, property Toll on roads and so on To pay for needs of people. It's duty of citizens to pay Their dues, their fair share To receive support for schools Transport and communications. Gross income from all sources Help in overall maintenance It's not necessary to reveal What taxes pay for what sector. It pains me to note in a case A city announced raising price Of cigarette packets sold To support funding of schools. It's a clear conflict of interest As smoking's discouraged on one hand On the other hand need more sales Of cigarettes to support education. Linking source to an activity Clearly affects the morale Of people who support the system And those who receive the benefit.
