Yes, but only for people that already have MORE than enough money to live and enjoy the fruits of excessive wealthiness, or if the tax dollars are going worthy causes.*cough* poor choices by current administration*cough* No one enjoys taxes, but I have no problem paying high gas prices (I paid $2.15 the other day for low-grade) because I know that those rich, greedy republicans in my state are driving $50k SUVs that get 11 (12 if they're lucky ) miles to the gallon. I laugh at their stupidity, that's why I drive a small Ford. I stongly believe that if every person in the US got rid of their oversized SUV, we wouldn't need to be in Iraq conquering the oil.
What I don't like is how our tax dollars are being used, like to conquer more oil, rather than things that we really need for example, a national healthcare system. Places like Ireland, where I recently visited, also have 35-40% of their income go to taxes... but everyone has healthcare.
