Why should we pay more tax? The fact that other (socialist) nations pay more taxes does not mean that the US should have higher taxes. It says that the US should not go socialist.If you want a better TV, you expect to pay more.
If you want a better car, you expect to pay more.
If you want to live in the country that you believe has the best standard of living, what do you expect? To pay less? Why?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
