I am also against tax increases. I use the phrase here only metaphorically.
In fact, I'm against two things (in this case):
1) Unconstitutional spending.
2) Taxation for any purpose other than raising revenue to cover constitutionally mandated or permitted spending.
I'd be quite happy with abolishing the income tax entirely, and raising the necessary revenue for constitutional government by way of tariffs.
We are already paying the tax to keep a lot of people unemployed.
That is already baked into the cake. I would rather pay the cost to the manufacturing company to employ them.
