Many public services would have to be eliminated

Juliana · Answer 2

The correct answer is "Many public services would have to be eliminated".

Explanation:

The problem of the free recipient could occur if the government stops collecting taxes and depends only on voluntary contributions. This would mean that many of the public services would lose state funding because of low tax collection, and would, therefore, cease to function and be eliminated.

Have a nice day!
