Ugh. Taxes are just collective investment. I’m glad we have safe roads (and if you want to experience really unsafe “roads”, just visit a country with no tax structure). I’m happy we have fire departments and police and schools and the FAA … all tax funded. This country was booming at a time when taxes were much higher than they are now, especially for the ultra rich. I do hate whining about pitching in.

That’s why it’s safer to wish for higher taxes directly, and remove the diabolic interpretation.

More taxes? You still have more money!

I wish for a return to the tax structure of Eisenhower.

Even wishing for lower taxes isn’t safe.

One doesn’t have to wish for anything to get higher taxes.

As long as my net worth goes up faster than my taxes, I’m good.
