"Honestly I don't think most people would mind getting taxed at a higher rate, as long as the money actually went somewhere positive." I think I would feel better about it if there was a way to address the corruption and wastefulness that comes with how our tax dollars are spent. I used to work civil service (part-time job while in college) and we had a lady named Peggy (sweet lady, great person) who spent every day on the phone resetting passwords for people who called in. Finally, I spoke with the supervisor and offered to add a forgot password link to the application and his response was: "what would Peggy do then?" Furthermore, I have little faith in the government's ability to hire the smart people who can actually address some of this stuff. What bright kid out of college wants to work at a job that blocks youtube, gmail, blogs, and any other popular-but-useful service that arises.
