What I think is you resent every penny you have to pay in taxes and the more taxes are cut the happier you are

Actually, no I don’t. You are making a generalization without reading a single word I’ve said on the subject, obviously. I pay a high percentage of my income in taxes, and I wouldn’t mind paying more if it went to things that I thought were important.
