We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Imposing higher taxes will only serve to decrease incentive and motivation. For example, what incentive would there be for doctors to work so hard if there were no financial rewards? Do liberals, socialists etc actually believe that someone would do so for the sake of humanity? Get a grip!
That's precisely where the totalitarian impulse in modern liberalism comes from. People must be coerced into certain behaviors, once the natural market is twisted out of their hands.
