I have no problem with increased taxes. I actually think they're needed. I do have an issue with people who are responsible and benefit from creating structural inequality expecting those who suffer as a result to shoulder disproportionate shares of the burden, while they largely benefit from that exploitation
So yea, let me know your net worth, monthly income, and where it falls in relation to Americans as a whole we can go from there in drawing up a fair proposal

I'm sure you have preferences on what you'd like to see your tax money spent on though. If your taxes were lower you could contribute more to causes that you feel are more important instead of giving it to the gov and hoping they do whatever you consider to be the right thing.
We're all selfish people and we all want to support the things we like so lower taxes gets us closer to that goal and Chicago's relatively high taxes are strangling this city. Imagine what the skyline would look like if people were moving into the city from outside the State instead of so many people leaving.
