I voted to have my taxes go up to pay for a new elementary school. They replaced a flat occupation tax with an increase in the income tax which would be about an extra $400 a year for me. But it'll come right out of my paycheck instead of being a separate bill I have to remember to pay.

Of course, all the idiots who live near me will probably vote against it and we won't get the school because "TAX BAD."

And we're talking about progressive tax brackets here. ONLY the money over $400k will be taxed higher. As in if you make $405k per year, only the $5k will be taxed higher.
