I think this partly comes down to what country you live in - If I lived in a Scandinavian country where it seems like people get pretty good value for their tax dollars I would be ok with paying a higher tax rate. If I lived in the USA where tax dollars are wasted on wars in the Middle East and building useless walls I would want to pay as little as possible.
