Is There a Conservative Case for Higher Taxes?

Is There a Conservative Case for Higher Taxes? Power Line
"But here’s the case: one problem with our current tax policy is that at the moment the American people as a whole are receiving a dollar of government for the price of only 60 cents.
(I don’t say a “dollar’s worth of government,” but let’s leave that snark for another time.)
Any time you can get a dollar of something at a 40 percent discount, you are going to demand more of it.
My theory is simple: if the broad middle class of Americans are made to pay for all of the government they get, they may well start to demand less of it, quickly."
