I think that for a lot of conservatives, it’snot so much the tax rate as what the taxes are used for.

Military strength, infrastructure investment that facilitates commerce and some of the core scientific research that is just too big and too long-term for most other entities to undertake (and that other nations are undertaking thus we fall behind at our peril), these things I do not mind paying taxes for.
Grants for LGBT studies, foreign aid, welfare for visa lottery winners and anchor babies and conferences on globull warming, THAT I mind paying for.

Taxes are used to subjugate certain groups, reward others and give politicians something to talk about when they are not talking about themselves. Actually they are supposed to be the price of civilization. Hah!
