Point that somehow always gets lost in American taxation debates: higher taxes can result in more money in your pocket if they pay for services you'd otherwise pay for out of pocket.
For the big stuff -- like health care and child care -- it's *really* hard to make this work without raising taxes on *everyone.* But "raising taxes on the middle class" is the true third rail of American politics.
Like how much in extra taxes would you, personally, pay in order to not have to worry about medical costs or fighting with insurance companies over billing codes or in-network vs out-of-network costs?
