I have a super wacky idea! Let’s raise taxes back to a reasonable level, so it’s possible to balance the budget without draconian cuts to basic services.

What’s this you say? People don’t want to pay taxes? Well, no shit! People don’t like to take injections when they are sick, they don’t like to use condoms, and they don’t like to go to work either. That’s life.

It’s time to deal with reality.
