1. I don't like what my government is spending money on: welfare state, acorn, abortion, un (sic), indoctrination of kids, social insecurity, etc. Therefore, I don't want to pay more in taxes, and I don't even want folks wealthier than me, paying more... even the hollyweird types, as all it does is bloat the federal govt.

2. Big difference between the "lower" tax rate of today and the "higher" one of yesterday as pointed out by the NYT is that today you need to aggregate the net taxes and fees that help to bloat the government. If you add in to the mix of income tax (local, state, federal), excise taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, user fees, etc, etc, etc, you see that we pay probably much more to the govt as a whole than ever before.

Plus this article seems to ignore how the coming inflation will affect people on top of the inevitable higher taxes.

The I remind myself, this is the NYT.
