    Government is as good or as bad as we make it. Pretending like it can’t be good while actively sabotaging it is conservative’s entire playbook.

    And yes, increase my taxes. I’m happy to pay more if we can improve the lives of everyone. If we can pay for things like universal healthcare, good infrastructure, public transit, and decent public housing, double my taxes.

      I agree a little bit, but the government tend to be a mechanism to take from one person and give to another. And in regards to america, the money goes directly to killing people all around the world.

      If you want to give more money in taxes, why dont you give it away to charity instead?
