Well adding more social programs is certainly going to raise taxes, what are you thinking, socialized health care, socialized tuition? a 9 to 11 % tax increase is quite substantial especially if you take good care of yourself and aren't going to college.
I think people rightfully fear the government taking even more of their hard earned money. especially when there has been so much malfeasance.
