That's just it, tax support is dwindling; and even though you're willing to pay more, it won't happen. That's why I suggested a user fee for high end services. I pay taxes to support our National Parks, yet I still have to pay a user fee in order to access them.
User fees are more palatable for taxpayers; especially those who don't utilize those services. As such, they'll be easier to pass than a general tax increase.
