답을 찾는데는 어려운일은 아니나 학생들을 가르치는데는 조금 문제가 있다 싶어 질문을 올립니다.

I do know that taxes are needed to keep essential public services from running so that they are available to everyone. But I think tax increases are harmful to the economy, and harmful to working families. Tax increases mean that real take-home pay falls, which reduces the bargaining power of an average taxpayer. They also reduce economic activity, particularly in a time of recession, by raising the cost of investment and reducing employment. Some officials say that the government has to cut some public services without tax increases. But what they should do is to squeeze the budget. They should perform a cost analysis before cutting programs and consider all reasonable means of reducing expenses. They should analyze services to ensure they are being provided in the most efficient method.

납세자의 협상력을 떨어뜨린다는 말이 무슨말인지 궁금합니다. 감사합니다.
