I pay very high federal taxes and am glad to do so. I would also like to see a .50 tax on gasoline to fund a new energy grid and supplement a green revolution.

Somehow I think that comment would send a quiver of disgust amongst our founding fathers. I'm not happy to pay taxes, but recognize that it's required to sustain a common defense, physical and personal, and mitigate private market failure. But I'm not just happy to give it away to them.
