   To put it another way: without control, fiscal pressure tends to creep up without a corresponding benefit to citizens.

   Los Angeles skims an additional 4.25% on all purchases made by 13M people. They also collect regular property taxes, water, trash, and probably some percentage of all paychecks...

   But does this money turn into good infrastructure and public services? I'm afraid not.
