It is a matter of accountability.
If you have three taxing authorities, and each one raises taxes by 10% for 30% total, they can all say: 'but my group did not raise your taxes by 30%'.

If someone wants to raise your/our taxes for their cause, make them go through that one taxing authority, even if it takes legislation.
