I wonder if Peter would tolerate closing the police department or fire department because taxes were too high.

Regarding my own retirement:

I would prefer to manage my own investments to fund it.
It would be a lot easier to do so if the government
did not confiscate so much of my earnings.

I would prefer to buy my own private catastrophic
insurance coverage.
It would be a lot easier to do so if the government
did not confiscate so much of my earnings.

Regarding my personal employment prospects:

If I am "laid off from my secure job",
I would go out and find another one.

I work hard to keep my skills up-to-date
and in-demand. That means working late nights
and often on weekends. That means not sitting
at home and wasting time watching trash on
cable TV, etc... like most of your typical
"Democratic" constituents.
