I don't think the average voter is in favor of more taxation. The average voter is afraid that "tax the rich" will turn into taxing me.

- alabastervlog 2y agoI think there's more stomach for it than you do, but do agree some large subset of the population thinks that e.g. they ought to oppose the so-called "death tax" because it'll apply to them or anyone they know (it won't). There's also the issue of a large proportion of the population not even understanding how progressive income tax rates work.
