Well, sadly it’s often not just the right-wing GOP. I know that, a couple of years ago, the NY Times had a series on the sad shape of the country’s water infrastructure and mentioned how everyone would complain when a water main would break, but if it was suggested to them that they pay a few cents/dollars more a month so that there would resources to repair and replace the stuff that needed work, people were outraged. I think the country as a whole has largely fallen into a something for nothing mindset.

Yeah, it’s a problem with the country as a whole. We want nice things but we don’t want to pay for it. People just see the word taxes and flip out. I am not saying every tax increase is necessary but I am saying that some tax incresaes may be necessary to make a better country.
