So do I. So long as it’s not used to pay for elective war I’m okay with it. But how my taxes are spent not withstanding, I’d rather be in a position where I was taxed heavily (as I am) than not make enough to have to pay taxes at all. I’m guessing at some level you probably feel the same.

I suspect a lot of those “taxed enough already” folks have no idea whatsoever how marginal tax brackets work. Tell ‘em the top marginal tax rate is going up 3% and they figure you’re talking about taxing them. Or worrying that crossing brackets will lose them money.
