Let's face it-- ever since Robin Hood duked it out with the Sheriff of Nottingham, nobody in their right mind has WANTED to pay taxes! We just want the benefits of having a will-funded safety net without having to pay for it.
I am puzzled by this: "What has changed is the rhetoric of elites. And frankly, to me, it feels like cowardice at a certain point that you wouldn’t defend that government elected by the people can do good things." Are you saying that millionaires are avoiding taxes because they don't believe in government??

Oliver Wendell Holmes put it best when he said:
