In an in a very high income bracket, as I imagine many here are. I’ve also lived in “more socialist” countries where I paid higher taxes before moving to the US. I would have little to no problem passing higher taxes if there was any reasonable assurance that those taxes would go to worthwhile purposes (infrastructure, healthcare, education), and not to the military or pork. Sadly, in America, land of the middleman, we know how unlikely that is.
