I think there are 2 camps. Those that are completely oblivious to the fact that the government doesnt have a infinite supply of money to provide services. I can understand that, its sad and unfortunately not everyone can grasp that.

Then there is the bigger issue in my mind.... Those that think its okay to raise money from larger earners when a windfall is needed. From a values standpoint thats just morally wrong in my eyes.
