[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High government spending requires high taxes (> 50%) in highest brackets.[/quote] And? I don’t think anybody thinks you get free healthcare and college education etc without higher government spending. I guess the various indices show there is a high correlation between happiness, liveability, etc and higher tax rates? That would probably be counterintuitive to many people here. Clearly the conclusion isn’t that people like paying tax. More likely they appreciate the services those taxes fund or perhaps the removal of uncertainty, stress and inequities that would arise if they had to fund those services themselves.[/quote]
