Well adding more social programs is certainly going to raise taxes, what are you thinking, socialized health care, socialized tuition? a 9 to 11 % tax increase is quite substantial especially if you take good care of yourself and aren't going to college.
I think people rightfully fear the government taking even more of their hard earned money. especially when there has been so much malfeasance.
But when they give money to corporations for things they need like healthcare thats totally fine...
and what about all that money that gets burned on military industrial complex..that must be coming from somewhere?
that too. Redirecting money to more useful things would help but nope the neocons and neolibs gotta keep that death machine humming
