@Randomadventureswithpaul Just because your brain is so small (or brainwashed by rightwing extremists it seems) that it can only fit one word does not mean there aren't many. I can think of at least 4 different one, each with it's own meaning, for "taking money with a mandate". btw. in German we have at least 6 words for different uses of "ticket".

It's a very important destinction (especially for politician) - at least if it is what is in German: the difference between Steuer (tax) and Abgabe (levy). A tax can be freely used, a levy is for a purpose. So if you have a street building levy you can't build train tracks with it or give money to sport groups or anything else. (theoretically, people can be very inventive)

@Randomadventureswithpaul Haha, funny how bad your insults are. btw. look up the actual numbers for both sides. Even only counting (para)military death the US is leading by now. If you also count indirect results the US may actually be at 100 million. But hey, you are happy killing your fellow citizens by lack of health care and oversupply of guns, so what to expect! And a tip: Languages are different, but they share one trait - if you have different words, they often mean different things. Like tax and levy - I looked it up, and it is different from your and your politicion's meaning (according to faqs.in.gov who I would guess know that stuff)
