I think a lot of us would be okay with tax increases if the government also showed restraint in spending. Right now, with Notley's tax increases, it literally feels like it's going straight from my pocket, to some teacher/nurse/bureaucrat's pocket.
And frankly, depending on how public union contract negotiations look, it seems like more and more of my money will go straight to public sector salaries.

Honest question. Why is it bad when you feel your money is going into a teacher/nurse/bureaucrat's pocket for doing a service for the public good but not have the same problem with it going into a billionaire's yacht when you buy something from somewhere like Wal-mart?
