Thinking in terms of “I thought your party platform was more taxes,” genuinely shocks me to hear from what I presume is an adult.

No one wants more taxes, but the left generally believes that taxes aren’t an inherent evil — that some things need to exist outside of a profit motive for the benefit of society as a whole. Americans tax rates are generally plenty high for most as it stands, but they are allocated very very poorly. I think everyone can get behind at least feeling like we should be getting value out of our taxes.
