[quote=Anonymous]Income of $180K [u]before[/u] deductions.
Annual savings: Retirement savings $18K, College Savings $10K, Health care expenses (including premiums) $12-14K, 
I currently pay around $17K in federal taxes, $11K in payroll, $11K in state and $7K property
I would definitely be willing to pay more in taxes to the federal government if I got more help in these the areas of retirement, healthcare and higher education and therefore did not have to save as much myself.  
Also be willing to pay more to help others who are less fortunate than we are
Definitely willing to pay more to get better government services that would ensure my children and grandchildren had a bright future (research funding, infrastructure, environmental regulation, consumer and workplace protection, national parks, museums etc).
I am not sure what the exact dollar amount I would be willing to pay is but as my example shows, I would be in a position to pay more in taxes if I had a better safety net (health care and retirement) and better government services and so did not have to save as much myself.
