Ted,
I don't mind paying taxes if I feel like I am getting back a level of service commensurate with the amount of taxes I am paying. I feel that's true of WA state.
Exactly.

Now consider how much people pay in federal taxes, including SS and Medicare. Are we getting a level of service commensurate with the amount of taxes we're paying? Judging from the approval numbers, definitely not.
How is paying lots of taxes being conservative?
Conservatives believe in flatter taxes. Sales taxes and property taxes would qualify.

Liberals believe in progressive taxes. Works great until those you are trying to tax figure out how to dodge them.

Flatter taxes by nature are harder to dodge.
