If I got a pay raise that increased my salary by $65/month, I wouldn't even notice the change.

My quality of life would almost certainly be improved by paying slightly higher taxes (to a point) and having better-funded municipal services in return.
Well my property tax is about 800 a month and I feel that it is disproportionately too much.

I feel like a lot of people don’t have enough skin in the game.
