But get that number up high enough and you won't hear a complaint from me.

So it's just a case of whose ox is being gored? Explain to me why someone who makes $200K, or $300K, or whatever arbitrary amount you care to name, should be taxed at a higher rate.

Do they use more government services? No, on average people actually consume less government services as their income increases. It sounds to me like you buy into the whole "tax the rich" concept - "Rich" being anyone who earns a dollar more per year than you do.

It's definitely a HUGE factor. But I am sure that's just me, right? Everyone else puts their neighbor's concerns ahead of their own. I'm the only one being evil here I am sure.

No, I buy into the don't tax me concept.
