Politicians in any society, especially those in a democracy, usually make promises of a better future than what we have today. These promises could align with the politician’s ideology or address the desires of the community they are focusing on.

It can be for the whole country to either increase the money or gather money through taxes or different ways to provide better services to citizens.

Will raise money

For example, free education or free hospital care, and so on. These things are needed in any society, especially a democratic society. Usually, when politicians say that they will raise money, it usually means that they will increase taxes, as money has to come from somewhere.

But UK politicians and other politicians as well are promising that they will raise money without increasing taxes, which is promising for a citizen of the UK.

However, if they usually entail almost always a few ways that are very limited, not increasing taxes will directly mean that the money has to come from either three of a common base.

Its citizens, this means without taxes or without proper taxation, the government could not raise money, and it will have problems running. Some countries usually have resources that the government controls, which could give them money.

Tax Evasion

They could let us delve deeper into these common ways that a politician could or would raise money without increasing taxes. First and foremost could be tax Evasion as as most people already know that the evasion of taxes is usually illegal in almost all countries because tax is the main source of income on how the government raises funds to give or supply things to the public.

Rich in resources.

They can provide free stuff such as health care and tax-free services. One example of this would be Dubai. Dubai has a lot of oil, which allows them to easily raise money and attract companies and CEOs to move there due to the absence of taxes. However, this model may not be equally helpful for other countries.

that are not rich in resources. One being UK requires citizens to pay their taxes and tax evasion is directly against it skips the necessary and a duty of a citizen that is using all the services the government is providing so tax evasion stopping tax evasion could be very beneficial especially.

If you focus on richer people who evade taxes, it could be great for us citizens. However, trying to stop or crack down on tax evasion is quite hard, as it is often done when people find loopholes in tax laws. This is usually exploited by huge companies, corporations, and wealthy individuals who skip taxes through various loopholes.

It is quite hard, as those loopholes can also be helpful for those who actually pay taxes or allow more freedom in paying taxes. These loopholes generally exist so that people could actually have more freedom to pay taxes, though.

Who is paying taxes?

These loopholes are usually exploited as well. This crackdown on tax evasion could be hard, though if it is done properly without hurting individuals who are paying taxes, it could be a great way to generate more revenue for the country. Another way a person can raise money, or a politician can raise money, is by cutting corners in welfare spending. While welfare is a quite important part of society.(Schifferes, n.d.)

It helps and focuses on individuals who are either in vulnerable situations as of now or are in poverty or any other position where they are unable to afford certain necessities. If that is the case,

Vulnerable population

If the government cuts corners in welfare, it can be said that it could be hurtful or have negative consequences for the vulnerable population or for people who are currently vulnerable or in a situation where they cannot get out. However, there might be a positive side to it, such as making the welfare system more efficient or saving money.

It usually entails a negative consequence of hurting the vulnerable population, and the third common way could be said to be They could save money in public services, which means that they could save money by cutting corners, for example, in the salaries of government employees or services provided to government employees.

While this may sound appealing to some, it also has its negatives. Trying to properly do it will not only face backlash from government employees but also the bureaucratic structures are very complex. Trying to save money by cutting corners could lead to negative effects that are unseen right now.
