To play off of your comment - taxes should be sold as a patriotic act. That through taxes we can make the lives of all citizens of this country better and that if you love this country you are willing to sacrifice a small % of your money to make that happen. Those people that are willing to sacrifice for their country are the true patriots.

On the other hand those people that complain about paying more, like some billionaires and millionaires, are the true takers. They used this country and it’s systems to build that success but are not willing to sacrifice anything to pay it back.
