"We need to start somewhere..."
Okay, clo ... let's start with you, then, dearie. Every citizen who believes the government should raise taxes to help cover some of its runaway spending should voluntarily pay to the IRS on their next tax return a surtax of 50% on their normally computed income tax liability as a charitable contribution to the federal government. Here's a helpful hint for you, courtesy of scuba ... http://www.atomicbobs.com/index.php?mode=read&id=736972. Surely you would be in favor of this, eh, clo? I mean ... you love your bloated government SO much! A feeling you have that has not only developed from your mindless political ideology but also from the fact that you receive or stand to receive far more in transfer payments from the government than you ever put in, in the first place, eh, dearie?
No ... NO ... you say you DON'T want to personally volunteer to pay more to your beloved government bureaucracies? OH MY! Shocking! 
Oh ... you want other people to come out of pocket to pay your bills and enable the freeloading lifestyle to which you want to become accustomed, eh? Ah ... yes ... it is so very easy for you to ignorantly spout off about raising income taxes when you know it won't affect you and that the balance of your give-and-take with the federal government will leave you in the black, right?! Tsk, tsk, tsk, clo ... you're such a freeloading hypocrite.
