It is very easy to keep taxing the people who already are paying thier (and so may others') tax dues. It an easy way out to target the softest ones, the average, salaried, middle class. Hight time this changes, it very unfair. Instead of trying to squeeze out maximum from the Tax-paying populace, often in garbs of benefits, out Economists would do well to widen the tax bracket to average out the tax liabilities. Bring in services under tax bracket, bring in more traceability and transparency in business transactions, track govt spends and encourage companies to pass on tax SoP's to concumers.
