For all the reasons you can vote against any tax.
Taxation is not the default. The justification always has to come from the proponents.
And I say this as a pro tax person who has voted for more taxes and lives in a high income tax state.
Defense contractors, road works, entitlement fraud, politicians' unexplainable wealth, college tuition, learing centers, and the list goes on.
Manage the money properly.
Logically speaking, the solution is clear going forward:
1. Higher taxes 2. Reduced government spending
However, we are not willing to have these difficult conversations and are focused on appeasing people.
Also, lets put things in context -- here is a summary from Claude. Over the last decade, federal income taxes went down for nearly everyone in rate terms, but the percentage benefit was larger for high earners and corporations.
