I wouldnt raise the tax for most people. I would only raise taxes for the wealthier elements of society. The wealthy elite could easily pay a few more per cent on their enormous incomes and still increase the gap between the haves and the have nots.
Its not aboiut more government either. Its about similar levels of government energy focussed in the right place. Less attention given to seeking out potheads( and all the costs incurred in that ) and maybe more government attention on making sure people dont starve or go homeless or are unable to gain access to medical services. The medicare system does not mean evryone has access to medicine. Or not the way I have heard it explained anyway. From what I am led to understand there is a fairly small portion of the population who have no access to healthcare
