I for one would like to see us all pay substantially more in taxes. Especially the rich and the not so rich and everyone else. That way our government will be able to disperse it "fairly" amongst everyone. There won't be the incentive for me to work my ass off to succeed with my small business because my wonderfully thoughtful government can just provide for me those things I need (or should I say, those things they think that I need).

After all, it shouldn't matter how hard you work to get ahead. Because someone else is working just as hard to be provided for (by you and me).

Sorry, no facts or statistics in my post. Just an opinion from a guy who lives in Seattle which is in King County which is in the lovely state of Washington. A triple dose of take this tax and like it.
