It seems like nobody wants higher taxes. People just want to keep as much of their money as possible because they want to feel secure and of course, be able to spend their money. They want to make sure their families have money. And all of this for what? In order to be happy.
It might surprise some people, but countries in which the citizens pay higher taxes, they are actually more happy. In such countries people may pay between 50 and 70 percent of their income on taxes. As a result the government takes care of things such as healthcare and education.
Not only do these higher taxes allow for the government to take care of these things, but they allow for people to have various jobs and still live comfortably and happily. The best example of this type of community is Denmark. Denmark has some of the highest taxes in the world, but its people are happier than those from other countries. People in Denmark don't see spending their money as such a high priority, but still enjoy the same types of luxuries that the affluent in America enjoy.
So many people are so against taxes being raised and even go so far as to vote for politicians, their sole reason for voting for them being that they will keep taxes down. Are we all missing something here? It seems that in reality tax increases will not lead to what we are all afraid of them leading to.
