Things should be done for a reason, to achieve a specific goal. For these pro-tax, wanna-be do-gooders, their only reason to increase taxes--is to RAISE government revenues!
We know the government's broke, and we're in debt up to our eyeballs. But there's no reason to keep pouring drinks for the alcoholic.
You’ll find that sheeperals have an inherent assumption of the benevolence of government and the people that work in it.
This makes sense to them that we “might as well” “give” the government more resources to work with because it could ONLY make things better by doing so.
