Tax me, tbh. I make $700k a year. If my taxes go towards resource conservation and regulating the commons towards sustainability, I'm all for paying more in taxes.
So yeah, tax the other guy who is like me and tax me.
(And before you respond with, "Well, you can voluntarily pay more in taxes" you should know that I've put aside hundreds of thousands a year towards environmental conservation, and two, I believe that even if I donated 100% of my own income it wouldn't be enough. I believe in taxes as a mechanism, and I believe that taxes on income at or above what I make are eminently reasonable.)
